Episode 23 of the Hacker Noon Podcast: An interview with Peter Yang, former Product Manager at Twitch.
Today’s show would not be possible without Digital Ocean. Learn more at do.co/hackernoon.
In this episode Trent Lapinski and Peter Yang discuss the live streaming market including the differences between the US and Chinese markets, video game streaming, and product management.
“Live streaming is about long form content, interactive content, content you can talk to your viewers about or talk to other streamers about.”
“It is about creating these jobs for people who might not enjoy a white collar job, or driving Uber or something, who just really enjoy playing videos.”
“Why not make a career out of playing video games? Being able to connect with other people around the country playing these video games and have a thriving career that way; I think that’s just awesome.” — Peter Yang
