E264 • Jun 5, 2025 • 67 mins

Kevin Griffin shares insights on managing offshore teams, quality control, and the importance of developer events. He discusses handling live TV nerves, roller coasters, and blending travel with work. Discover vibe coding, AI in development, and Hampton Roads' tech evolution. Hear about Kevin's networking skills and resilience in local entrepreneurship. Topics include his career journey, LinkedIn strategy, the origin of Shedquarters, promoting the developer community, and event catering challenges. Personal anecdotes and sponsor acknowledgments wrap up the episode.

Key Points

  • Trusting an offshore team requires a technical professional to oversee the work to ensure it meets the required specifications and quality.
  • The emergence of vibe coding allows developers to use AI to quickly iterate and refine projects, making it a valuable tool rather than a replacement for skilled professionals.
  • Hampton Roads has a growing but quiet tech community, and increased participation and leadership in local tech events could significantly boost the region’s innovation ecosystem.
