What Happens When the People Building the Technology Stop Being Fans? with Anil Dash

from Past Due with Ana Marie Cox and Open Mike Eagle · host Ana Marie Cox and Open Mike Eagle

Technologist, writer, and self-described "big fan of being a big fan" Anil Dash joins us to talk about what it looks like to spend 25 years watching tech eat everything from journalism to musict to blogging, and now the jobs of the people who built it. We get into 750,000 tech layoffs and counting, why the "learn to code" safety net is gone, and what happens to the creative economy when the partner who was supposed to be funding the dream loses their job too.
