How developer experience is about product, documentation and engineering collaborating together? What is her role in the API Review Committee, which helps ensure APIs are standardized and maintain their API style guide? Docs revamp - how have they approached it, why have they done it, where is it going next? How does the entire doc editing and authorship process work at Plaid? And last but not least, how have they incorporated user feedback into the docs process! The host is Laura Vass (Editor of Developer Portals Newsletter, Co-Founder of Pronovix).
