# [[Adobo and Avocados 01 - How we got into tech]] <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/25Ba4Z694Gw" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> ## Guests ## Topics - Introduction - Why Adobo and Avocados? - Who we are - How we met - What we do - Journey to tech - What's our first experience with tech? - Why/How did we transition from software testing to developer relations? - Talk about our projects/content - What can people expect in this podcast? For me, these are my expectations: - Create a safe space for diverse people to talk about their experiences in tech - Be a bridge to connect different people and also promote their work - Inspire underrepresented/diverse people in tech to do things they’ve been pushing back to do - Talk about aspects of tech we don't usually talk about-- interpersonal dynamics, cultural differences, the stress of trying to keep up in the industry. - Help people (especially underrepresented people) with concrete career advice for surviving and thriving in tech (like personal branding, how to think about promotion, preferring visible work).
