In this conversation, Jason Lengstorf, creator of CodeTV and the Web Dev Challenge, joins Kent to discuss:

  • His background in engineering, developer relations, and open-source at companies like IBM, Gatsby, and Netlify.

  • The Web Dev Challenge, a fast-paced, team-based competition that brings developers together to solve unique coding challenges in just four hours.

  • The free Epic Web Conf hackathon happening the day before the conference, where attendees can join the challenge, build something cool, and showcase their work.

  • His philosophy on career growth, taking calculated risks, and building a career you truly enjoy.

  • Why in-person conferences are critical for networking and how making friends, rather than “networking,” can be the key to long-term success.

    Jason shares why he prioritizes being in physical spaces with other developers, how meaningful relationships have shaped his career, and why he believes success comes from showing up, trying hard, and having the courage to take chances.
