    After Pulse: Playing DevRel's Advocate

    In this After Pulse the hosts get into what it's actually like to be the odd one out in the room, the person who can see the bigger picture when everyone else is heads down on their own slice of the problem. They share personal anecdoates about trying to get stakeholders to zoom out, see who a decision actually impacts, and what's worked and what hasn't when you're the one connecting dots nobody else is putting together yet.

    Playing DevRel's Advocate (Ep 104)

    In this episode of Community Pulse, we discuss the challenge DevRel teams face when raising concerns internally. Because they’re closely connected to the developer community, they often spot issues before anyone else. Speaking up too often can make them seem overly negative or resistant to change. We explore how to communicate concerns effectively, maintain credibility with stakeholders, and continue advocating for the community without becoming “the person who always pumps the brakes.” Checkouts Wesley Faulkner Work’s Not Working - A community for those struggling in the workplace to get real help instead of platitudes. Get suggestions from other people that are dealing with the same struggles that you are facing to get real support. Against Empathy - The book draws on the distinctions between empathy, compassion, and moral decision making.

    AI Slop in the Industry (Ep 103)

    Prompted by some content on “How to Succeed in DevRel” that was clearly AI produced, Jason, PJ, and Wesley go down the rabbit hole of how developers are affected by AI generated content, what the real value of AI content is to developers, and a few points on what exactly the value is of creating content for AI instead of human developers.
