Ep. 215 – Why do developers and marketers struggle to work together? In this episode, Chris explains why developers and marketers are both "builders" but do very different work, and how mixing them up leads to broken forms, low sign-ups, and developers taking the blame. Drawing on his years on both sides, he shows how to split the work so each person does what they do best, and why this matters even more now that AI lets anyone build their own apps. Tune in to learn who should own what on your team so your website, landing pages, and leads stop falling through the cracks.
