How Madison civic tech gave me a map to navigate my early career ~ Abe Rubenstein https://urbanists.video/videos/watch/3d0ad87a-81c2-4201-847b-525976b4401d "Are you a developer interested in building your own bus app?" In 2013, this question appeared on the SMSMyBus website - an ad for a real-time Madison Metro bus arrival API. Despite being a recent UW-Madison CS grad, coding wasn't yet a practical skill.
