Cassidy Williams is a software engineer and developer advocate by profession who loves teaching people coding skills (and making them laugh with dumb jokes)! She's currently the CTO of a small AI startup called Contenda, and has worked at a bunch of other companies, large and small — almost always focusing on how to make developers build better.

Cassidy's been a true Buttondown O.G. — she's been sending newsletters for almost five years through the platform, and we caught up with her to learn more about her process and how she uses Buttondown.

Check out our interview where she explains how she's been able to scale up her newsletter from just a few friends to tens of thousands of happy developers ↗
