Community Pulse

Wes and Jason talk through some of the nuance around using AI in devrel, including how it can benefit us and areas to be cautious in.

As the world of Artificial Intelligence continues to evolve,it's increasingly evident that AI tools are rapidly changing the way we work in Developer Relations & Community Building. How do we make sure AI is used ethically and responsibly? And what impact will it have on the future of not only DevRel, but software development in general? Join us as we explore the exciting world of AI in Developer Relations on this episode of "The Community Pulse".

To kick off 2023 in style, PJ spoke with several DevRel practitioners to get their advice to fellow folks in DevRel and people new to the industry looking for more information on how to do the best they can. Ranging from practical, to witty, to inspirational, these words of wisdom should help anyone on their journey.

We’re somehow already at the end of 2022, which means it’s time for another end-of-year wrap-up from your Community Pulse hosts! Thanks so much to all of you who have listened (and participated!) as we’ve explored topics from content to speaking, Developer Experience, DevRel strategy, and more. Join Mary, Jason, PJ, and Wesley as we talk about some of the trends we noticed during 2022 and what we think might happen in 2023.

Jason, Mary, PJ and Wesley further the discussion on devrel communities and how we can serve our changing scope of user.

These days, some DevRel teams advocate for, evangelize to, and create communities for SREs, Enterprise Architects, students, or decision-makers in early-stage startups, in addition to low-code or citizen developers. While these people may fall outside of the traditional developer persona, many DevRel teams are looking to support these people who are using our technology for one-off solutions to their problems...

Mary, Wes and PJ spend time considering their conversation with Amara and Kurt and the implications for a great developer experience.

Developer Experience (DX) has been a buzzword for the past few years and it’s only growing in popularity. But what is it exactly, and how is it different from Developer Relations or Developer Advocacy? Also, when we say “Developer Experience” is everyone actually referring to the same topic? Or are there multiple approaches?

Our hosts continue to reflect on the results of this year's DevRel survey and provide further insights into the data and the industry.

By the varied nature of everything that falls under the umbrella of Developer Relations, it can be difficult to get down to the trends and movements of everything we do. Add to that the bespoke nature of many DevRel programs, and we really need to work to discover what’s happening in the world we live and work in. Fortunately, a survey was done, and in this episode we will discover some of the results and find out a bit of the why we do what we do when we say we do DevRel.
