Code and the Coding Coders who Code it

Episode 30 - Adarsh Pandit

Drew Bragg Season 1 Episode 30

In this eipsode I had the pleasure of talking to Adarsh Pandit, Executive Director of Ruby Central, who gave me a peek behind the curtain. From discussing his journey through the coding industry to arriving at Ruby Central, to the challenges he tackled stepping into an executive role - Adarsh's story is a tale of perseverance, growth, and community building.

Get ready to uncover how Ruby Central is keeping the Ruby community vibrant and innovative. You'll hear about RubyConf and the exciting Community Day initiative that Adarsh is leading - a celebration of knowledge sharing, public speaking, and community engagement. Adarsh also shares his insights on adapting conferences to changing times and the strategies he's using to revamp the RubyTogether membership program. It's a candid look at the realities of running a tech organization in an ever-evolving industry.

But we don't stop there. We also dive into Ruby Central's efforts to foster collaboration and creativity within the Ruby community. From fiscal sponsorship programs to the Scholars and Guides Program - Adarsh gives us a detailed tour of how they're stoking the fires of innovation. And not to be missed is our exploration of community building through local meetups. It's all about creating spaces for connections and learning, and we're sure you'll find Adarsh's experiences and insights invaluable. Tune in for a conversation that's not just about code, but also about fostering communities, encouraging creativity, and building a shared sense of purpose in the tech world.
