Scott & Mark Learn To… YAP

In this episode of Scott & Mark Learn To, Scott Hanselman and Mark Russinovich discuss their favorite technical conference, TechReady, an internal Microsoft event that allowed for unfiltered discussions about strategy and future technologies. They reflect on how speaking candidly in internal settings can influence public communication and decision-making. Mark recalls his bold stance on Rust over C++, which gained traction internally and externally, leading to direct discussions with Microsoft leadership. They also touch on the challenges of public communication as Microsoft executives, the company's relatively open culture compared to other tech giants, and lessons learned from past social media missteps.      Who are they?     View Scott Hanselman on LinkedIn  View Mark Russinovich on LinkedIn    Watch Scott and Mark Learn on YouTube        Listen to other episodes at scottandmarklearn.to           Discover and follow other Microsoft podcasts at microsoft.com/podcasts   Download the Transcript Hosted on Acast.
