being nice and how to network w/ salma alam-naylor
guest: salma alam-naylor, head of developer education at nordcraft
- treat networking as making friends, not a transaction, and build relationships slowly over time
- admitting you dont know something builds trust faster than pretending to know everything
- share your real life and vulnerabilities online, not just work content, to connect with people
- avoid chasing follower counts or engagement, since real opportunities come from genuine connections
- invest time in learning fundamentals instead of rushing to land a job in a few weeks
