Devs Do Something

Today’s guest is Nader Dabit - the Director of Developer relations at Aave. Nader has had a very positive impact on many, many devs in web3, and in this episode, we tried to get behind the scenes on how Nader approaches creating developer content, building developer communities, and both building & maintaining APIs and developer tooling. If you work in dev real or are building a protocol or product that’s meant to be used by developers, I think you’ll get a lot out of this episode.
