In this episode, host Bidemi Ologundespoke with Jake Ward, co-founder of the Developers Alliance, to unpack how tech policy battles quietly shape the lives and livelihoods of developers around the world. They explore why AI regulation will determine which startups survive, how fragmented privacy laws can unintentionally crush small innovators, and why lawmakers who think they’re targeting Big Tech often end up hurting the little guys instead. Jake also shares practical ways independent developers can "get a seat at the table" in policy conversations.
