If you're building on HubSpot, listen up. Starting April 7, exposed API tokens will automatically be deactivated. That's just one of this month's key updates, so let's dive in. Hey, I'm Bri. I'm a developer advocate at HubSpot, and I'm ready to help you build better, faster and smarter on the platform. First up IS mentorship. The HubSpot Ecosystem Mentorship Program is back. Whether you're looking to level up your app development, CRM customization, AI or CMS skills, or if you're a seasoned pro and you are ready to help mentor this next generation of HubSpot developers, this is your chance. Applications close on March 5, so don't wait. AI, chess and magic tricks. Oh my, what do they have in common? More than you'd probably think. John McLaren's latest blog post breaks it down, showing how these skills can make you a better problem solver and developer. And a bonus if you're an audiobook fan, you can actually listen to John read the blog post himself. Performance and SEO specialists, you're up next.
