 Thank you all for being so patient. Welcome to the OptaDeveloper channel. And we have such an incredibly exciting day today. I want to introduce everyone who's watching to our new brothers and sisters at Auth0, who just joined forces on, I guess it's the light side, not the dark side, right? We're going to choose the light side. We're the ones who care very much about security and users. So welcome, welcome. I just wanted to start by saying how grateful I am. You're all willing to jump on our live stream with us. So we're going to ask each of you some questions while we're going, if that's OK. We just need you to start out with what your name is, where you live, how many months or years you've been at Auth0, like what kind of communities you serve, or what kind of code do you like to write? Let us know so that any of us who have pensions for a particular language know that we got each other. And then what superhero do you identify with? That's a big question. Let's start with Jess. OK, I was so now ready to be the first one. But that's awesome. Let's do this. OK, so hi, everybody. My name is Jessica, but you can call me Jess. I'm located in Brazil. So here in the south of Brazil, Brazil is huge. So I'm the south of Brazil. If there are any Brazilians out there, hi, it's always good to be here. And the funny thing is, when Hado said, oh, we have a couple of questions for everybody. And she sent this message saying, here's at Auth0, but I don't have here's at Auth0. I just completed my first month. So here's the team. Thanks. I'm very happy to be here. Random fact about me, and I believe that people don't. I know a couple of people know this, because I've told this story before. But my first Python conference, I twisted my ankle and basically became the sensation of the event. Everybody would stop by and talk about my ankle. It was awesome, and it was a great experience. And that's actually a spoiler, because Python is actually my favorite language and the community that I like to help and serve and be a part of. So what superhero do I most identify with? I don't know, everybody that asked me this question, I always think about Storm from X-Men in some kind of way, because my last name actually means Storm in English. So that's a funny thing about my last name. So I think I identified with her. She has this cool hair and some amazing power. So yeah, that's it. That's a great answer. I love Storm. I'm a fan. I am a fan. You too. Well, next, let's go ahead and pick on Sam Bellon. Hey, thank you for having me. So like you said, my name is Sam Bellon, and I'm based in Belgium all the way in Europe. So I'm not US based. And I've been at all zero for about two and a half years, more or less. I come from a traditional front and background, lots of JavaScript and like most of the major frameworks, basically, but I do try to focus on technologies and not on languages themselves. So if you really want to talk geek with me, I love the Web Authentic standard, which is becoming more and more popular these days. A fun fact about me is that I speak five languages and at the beginning of the pandemic last year, I started learning my sixth, which is Norwegian on Duolingo. And I'm currently at a 384 day streak, which is something I'm very proud of. I'm not really into superheroes, so I don't know that many of those. But if I have to choose one, I would say maybe cats, women is a cat dude as well. I'm not sure, but I do love cats. And if you see some streams with me or videos with me, you might see my cat pop in. So I'm going to go for cats, lady, woman slash dude. I like it. Can you be a cat woman? Yes, cat was great. And then the question is, which cat woman? Like, did you ever watch like a movie with cat woman? No? Yeah. That's fair, that's fair. All right, how about Anna, you're next. Sure. Before I figure, after I do me, if it's okay, Sam Bellin on myself have prepared something for our colleague, Ben, who lives in Australia and can be here today. Oh, that'd be awesome. Yeah, let's do that. Awesome. So first I'll go and I'm Anna. I'm based in Spain. So I'm colleagues with some, well, I'm colleagues with all of you, but my Amir colleague is Sam Bellin. And I've been a year and four months at Ulcerah now. I run them FACT about me. So I don't have the traditional tech background. I actually studied fine arts. So I love all things art, especially contemporary art and going even deeper art installations are my favorite. And technologies, I'm also front-end. So I love all things JavaScript. I have my Angular family, which we call the NG family. I'm also very much into web components and I'm getting more into security too. So yeah, those are my areas of focus. And I'm just like Sam and Jessica. I don't know much about superheroes, but I asked my team to assign me a superhero. Who would they say, I am? And Sam Julien, who's actually our manager, said that I'm kind of like the Scarlet Witch of the team because I create new realities for my ideas. So I thought that was really cool. And yeah, I can totally go with that. I'm all about WandaVision right now. So that makes me excited. I just want to share my screen quickly. Oh, we do everyone and I do Ben at the end. What's best? Are we doing Ben now? We can do Ben right now. I think we're good. You're telling the brain. Let's do it. So Sam has turned into Ben, as you can all see. And I'm just going to share my screen real quick. Okay, sorry about this. Cool, can we pull that up? Awesome. So this is Ben and we actually went with different questions, ones that Jamie sent us previously. So they might not align exactly with the ones we're answering here. But so Ben, where are you from? Hey everybody, my name is Ben and I'm based in Melbourne, Australia. Awesome. And how many years have you been at OZERO? I've been about two and a half years at OZERO. I think I started in November 2018 if I can recall correctly. Okay, your Australian accent, it's a bit strange there, but it's not even Australian your accent, is it? But let's not get into that, Ben. What are your interests? So interests, if you talk code-wise or technology-wise, I come from a PHP background, but I also dabble around with Python and JavaScript. I'm a big fan of IoT. And if you've seen one of my talks, I actually take a door on stage, which I try to unlock with the JSON web tokens and already all of the device flow. And I'm a big believer in privacy. Privacy is a way that I pronounce this word. So if you don't find that many details about me on the internet, that's why. That's very interesting. What would we treat you with? Well, I do like Scott Whiskey. And if I have to talk with Sam and Ann all out during my working hours, I can really use a glass of whiskey once in a while. And my favorite one is the LaFoic 10 cask strength. I'm very impressed that you can actually pronounce that because I think it's, is that? Yeah, of course it's Scottish, right? It's Scottish whiskey, yeah. Scottish whiskey. Never mind. So as we know, there are many fun facts about Ben because he's a very fun person, but we have picked two today to share. Oh, you have picked two today to share, Ben, how about you? I have. And the reason why I can pronounce that Scotch Whiskey name is because I have some Scottish ancestors and that's also maybe the reason why I often or always wear a kilt on stage when I go to conferences. And what happened to your dreadlocks, Ben? Yeah, I used to have a bunch of dreadlocks and I had them for years, I think almost half of my life, but during the pandemic, I felt a bit crazy and I just cut them off. Awesome. Thank you so much. Well, that's Ben. And yeah, we can continue now. Awesome. All right, from one Sam to Ben to Anna to Ben to Sam Julian. Let's try that one. Hey, yeah. So one fun fact about me is that my last name is actually pronounced Julene. So that's the word for now. I already have it on your list. No, it's okay, everybody does that. I actually got the idea from Stephanie Maria to add that to my email signature. So now I should be a lot better off. I started at Auth0 about two and a half years ago as well. Ben, Sam Bellin and I all started within maybe a month or two of each other, which is kind of fun. I started on the content team and then after about a year, moved over to the DevRel team and now at the beginning of this year became the manager of the team. Fun fact about me, I have been a musician slash percussionist for like the majority of my life. And I love percussion of all kinds and synthesizers and things like that and have a particular fondness for hand drumming and the jambay and drums like that. Just something you probably wouldn't pick up about me on Twitter because I keep my Twitter pretty like tech focused. I also love Scotch as well. So I can relate to that. As far as superheroes, I probably identify the most with Dr. Strange just because Dr. Strange is like kind of mystical, kind of psychedelic, like really into changing reality and metaphysical stuff. And I'm pretty into that kind of stuff as well. So yeah, love Dr. Strange. Also Heather, you should know I am a late bloomer Lord of the Rings dork. I'm like a huge Lord of the Rings fan but I've gotten into it as an adult. Like I saw the movies when I was in high school and college but I've been going through the books and also during the pandemic discovered the Lord of the Rings card game which you and I should talk about at some point. I have a trivia set too, like it's all coming. It's all coming. And you know, fun fact, we're not really enjoying everybody's answers. But if you wanna know like the most amount of money ever spent on a show right now, Amazon is spending on the next Lord of the Rings show. It spent more than Game of Thrones combined currently. So I am very excited about that to be really. Yeah, seriously. So maybe next time we'll line up with, you know, who identifies with what Lord of the Rings character, homework for all of you. All right, let's get James Quick up. What's up? Let's see, I just, for people that are on the Octa channel now that maybe weren't on the All Zero channel, we just did the Meet the Octa team there. So we got to do like a similar version of this and I got to listen to a lot of people's answers and now I'm on the spot to do mine. So my name is James Quick. I have been at All Zero. I started about the same time within a few months of like Anna and Tyler, I think we're relatively close. I started in January of 2020. So it's been not quite a year and a half but a little bit over a year. In terms of technologies, I am a JavaScript developer through and through. That's where I spend the majority of my time. I talk a lot about the Jamstack and React and Next.js. I've been doing a lot of automation stuff recently just like daily tasks that I don't wanna do anymore and I can solve with code. I've been trying to focus on that. And I just recently, because of a project that Sam Bellin created internally using Svelte on the front end have gotten really interested in Svelte. So I've been creating some content or recording some content about that and I'll have more of that to share. But really anything in the JavaScript ecosystem. And then if I were to pick a superhero, one of my like, I'm not as into kind of like the sci-fi aspect of superheroes. So for me, my character is Batman because it's the most like realistic because you could have money and kind of build out those tools and cars and that kind of stuff. So it seems the most believable to me. So I've always been the most interested and felt like I related to Batman. And that's just cause I could, I could see that really happening. I think Batman might be a real person out there if he's not already, or she. That totally explains your studio setup James. You are the Bruce Wayne of the group. Good job. That's right. I'll take that. Nice. All right. Welcome, Devonator. Hello, everybody. My name is Devon Hennan and I am located in the beautiful area of Seattle. I have an events background and I lead our customer hackathon program at off zero. And I have been at off zero, I believe now for about two and a half months. So not fully in the year spectrum like a couple of people are. And I would say my superhero if I had to choose it would be Doctor Who. I don't know if that's technically a superhero but we're gonna go ahead and just say that he is. Shout out to Matt Smith. He's my favorite doctor and David Tennant the 11th intense doctors. I'm always down for an adventure accepting of all creatures. And I love to solve a good mystery. So I definitely identify with those doctors. Fun fact about myself. I am a dog illustration artist. I can also illustrate people but I definitely like doing animals more. And then also just a little fun fact for Sam Jolene. I heard this a while ago and actually just double checked it to make sure I was correct, but for Lord of the Rings in the entire Lord of the Rings film trilogy no two female characters ever speak to one another. That's true. Another fun fact. That is true. That is true. And in the card game they actually added a bunch of female characters to make up for Tolkien's lack of imagination. Yeah, it happened in the last Hobbit movies too. I think the new series will probably correct that a lot as well. Yes. Well, that's awesome. Welcome. All right, Christy, you are up next. All right. Hey everyone, I'm Christy Gutierrez. I live in the Seattle area in Washington state and I'm gonna go with about eight months that I've been at Auth0 and a random fact instead of a fun fact. I always have thought that Y2K is hilarious. Like when it was like 1999, I thought it was funny. And then ever since I think about it and it just makes me laugh. But some of my friends and I used to throw a Y2K party at a random time during the year and it was one of the things that we had people do is bring like a donation item, like a can for a feed drive as part of like how you got in. So it was kind of funny, but it was just something that kind of like tickles me and makes me laugh. Language, I am actually not a developer but I long, long time ago, like I don't even know how long ago, like 20 years ago I took a basic computer science class and did a little bit like HTML stuff and I like don't really remember that anymore but hopefully at some point when I can carve out some time I'll start learning a little bit more in the developer world and then I'll be able to tell you what my favorite language is, which will probably be the first one that I'm learning, whichever that may be. And then superhero, I actually don't know a ton about superheroes. I don't really know what all their powers are. So I'm gonna go with that, what I'd want my superpower to be and that would be to travel inter dimensionally. I think it'd be kind of a cool thing. So I don't know, if there's a superhero that does that, let me know and I'll just check them out. Maybe they'll be my favorite superhero. Hot Captain Marvel does stuff like that but maybe I'm incorrect. You have to let us know in the comments if I'm correct or incorrect. I didn't know a lot about Captain Marvel. I am a Black Widow girl through and through. So that's a little bit more on the side of what James does. Like, hey, it's somebody who could like realistically kind of happen. You know, that's one of mine, but welcome, Christie. Also, I'm really impressed that at the age of one, you took an HTML class. Like that's pretty awesome. Okay, Tyler, you're the last one, dude. All right, last. I was wondering if it was because of my name, T. Maybe that's why I got lost there, Tyler. Cool, so hi everyone, my name's Tyler. I've been, as James mentioned, at odd zero for just over a year. He and NN, myself, all started within months of each other. So just over a year for me, I've, this is my first double L job. I worked as a developer full time for many years, mainly in the front end stack. My last job before this one was full stack though and it was a node and C sharp. So I don't like to claim C sharp because I'm afraid someone will ask me to do something with C sharp. I'm not super comfortable with it, but I was able to click around and work with some of my teammates on it. So I could at least find myself around that code base. But yeah, I'm also a JavaScript dev. I love the front end of back end. Passion's more in the front end though. I like doing everything from CSS to messing with databases and SQL stuff. Fun fact about myself, I was trying to think of like a cool one that I haven't already shared with a team and my teammates. And I was thinking the music one from Sam, Sam Jay got me thinking, I don't think I've said this yet, but in high school, I played the baritone and the trombone. So that's kind of interesting because I haven't, I don't think I've shared that one yet. I started with baritone in middle school and then moved to trombone in high school just because I wanted it to be in a jazz band. So I picked that up for that and ended up sticking with that the last couple of years. Superhero, I'm gonna choose Hulk because I think I'm like super strong or anything, but that's what my son says I am whenever we wrestle. And when in your son's eyes, you're the strongest person in the world, he's still four or five. So he's got a lot to learn. But yeah, I'll be Hulk for him because that's what he owes to me. And I think that's it. Yeah, superhero, tech stack, out zero, and special fact. Awesome. We are all so excited to have you on. In fact, we don't have a stream that is big enough for both of our DevRel teams to be on. So that's why we chose to do one on your Twitch stream and then one on our Twitch stream, but we can't wait personally for all of this to be a big party in person. I am very much looking forward to that day for sure. I have a question though and feel free to answer whoever knows the answer, okay? We're just gonna kind of do a little random round since we got a couple minutes here. Okay. Okay. What kind of future do you think we're more likely to have in tech? A Star Wars future or a Star Trek future? You have to unmute if you're gonna say something. Everyone's silent, no one's saying a word. It may, I don't know if other people know them both. I like don't know anything about Star Trek and I don't know Star Wars that well. I feel like I don't fit in. It may just be me and I'm already seeing the looks. Someone else saved me. Someone else answer. You're not alone. Lightsabers would be pretty cool, but also super dangerous. So that's something that. Okay, repair at Tyler. Yeah. I feel like Star Trek is like the optimist view and Star Wars will be the pessimist view because Star Trek is set in this like utopian future where we're post scarcity and everybody has their all of their basic needs met and I would love to believe that that was going to happen but I don't know if it will. I like to believe that too but I always keep thinking it's going to take longer to arrive there if we ever arrived there. By the way, I'm one of those persons that love both of their franchises. So I'm always in the middle like everybody say, oh, Star Trek or Star Wars. I'm like, why not both? I would love to have lightsabers and curing diseases with just one thing like plug into your, I don't know, skin or something. Yeah. No, I think so. I think for me, it would be outwardly, I think that we'll have a Star Trek future but inwardly we will all struggle with our own issues with which way the force is pulling us. And so I feel like we will see it as if it's very dramatic but it may be very boring in certain ways politically as everybody stretches out and lands on the moon again and does more things just go farther and farther. So I think we're going to have both in our future one that's inside our head and our heart and one that's going to be external. But when it comes to all that stuff, I know that our audience has a lot of questions about what we're going to do together and how we're going to highlight things on each of our channels. So starting on Thursday, I know we're going to give you all a sampling of some projects that we've made at Okta and some projects at Zero. So definitely could check that out at 10 a.m. Right, James 10 a.m. Pacific. 10 a.m. Pacific, yep. On the Oscar channel. 10 a.m. Pacific on Thursday. And then we'll do something every couple of days just to kind of let you all get to know us better and if you ever have questions, you can always hit us up. But thanks everyone for joining. Thanks for having us.
