EPISODE DESCRIPTION:
In this Dev Life edition of the Angular Plus Show, we sit down with four Google Developer Experts to get their unfiltered thoughts on the essence of being a GDE in Angular. We discuss the definition and expectations for being a GDE, the effectiveness and evolution of the qualification process, the value of the role for both the GDE personally and for the community at large, and the balance between technical expertise and community contributions. This is not an episode to skip! This is… The Dev Life!
