I've been wondering if we'll see more dev companies use podcasting for marketing.

Most of the dev podcasts I've run across are by practitioners who just do it for fun or to help boost their consulting practice, so it seems like companies with bigger budgets and more access to big name devs might be really well positioned to come up with a good show.

That said, the medium isn't great for some things that devs want (code samples, seeing results, etc.)

This was good to know. I constantly feel that imposter syndrome, especially as we grow and I am trying to keep my leadership skills at pace with our team size.

Interesting. I would argue that social competence is almost always a baseline requirement for team-based work, but maybe not?

Thanks for your perspective!

Thanks great to hear!

We're actively working to measure and improve the writer experience, so I always welcome feedback.

I run Draft.dev, so happy to answer questions.

We pay $315 to $550 per article depending on the writer's experience and the topic.

Most of our writers are engineers who do this on the side to supplement their income or learn new things. We don't do ghostwriting, so authors also get a byline, which is rare in our space.
