5. From Pilates to back-end development and helping the open-source ecosystem - with Layla Porter
In this episode, we talk with Layla Porter about the .NET Foundation and sharing knowledge. And especially how everybody can, or should, get involved in managing the open-source software community. Help and contribute, do not take it for granted. Furthermore, we talk about her path from Pilates to back-end development, about teaching and sharing, being there for beginners and noobs, and about creating a safe space on Twitch or Discord to share and ask anything.
