OpenSource interview with Tara Z. Manicsic
Today we have the pleasure to publish an other video from our series of interviews of people we consider to be modern day heroes: OpenSource developers.
We had the chance to interview a dynamic young woman, Tara Z. Manicsic! Tara lives in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA and works as a developer advocate at Progress. She also is part of two major projects:
- “Cincy NodeSchool” that she co-founded in 2014 that helps support and grows the Node and Javascript community
- and “Cincy Women Who Code” that she founded in 2015 for helping the community of women in tech in Cincinnati and surrounding areas.
Here is the list of 22 questions we asked to Tara:
