iPS 234: Public Extension Snippet Newsletter with Joe Fabisevich

Panel:

Andrew Madsen
Jaim Zuber
Erica Sadun
Gui Rambo

Special Guest: Joe Fabisevich

In today’s episode, the iPhreaks panel talk to Joe Fabisevich about the new mailing list that he has recently taken over, and you can sign up for it here. He talks about the type of snippets that they send out in the newsletter and gives general information about the newsletter. Joe loves the reception that he has gotten, and this is what fuels him to find new extensions every week to help other people learn. One of his goals for this project is to try to figure out the formula that keeps people coming back each week.

In particular, we dive pretty deep on:
