Cillers Developer Experience

Meet David Tippett, Search Engineer at GitHub

David is building the future of search at GitHub. Before joining GitHub, he worked at AWS as the Senior Developer Advocate for OpenSearch, where he taught developers how to build search experiences on the open-source datastore. With a background spanning network automation, software engineering, DevOps, and data engineering, he loves helping new engineers find their passion.

In this episode, we discussed three very interesting topics! First, the Open Source Hackathon Program that David helped put together with other enthusiasts at AWS. Second, the "Ship to Learn" principle—a philosophy and a system that increases development velocity at GitHub. And finally, how to write better code faster with AI, where David recommends everyone check out Open Web UI.
