    Non-tech Communities That Inform Our DevRel Activities (Ep 101)

    Our lived experiences often inform our work. This is true in the world of DevRel as well. Whether you have organized a church group, been in a band, or put together a big party - some of those experiences will leak over into how you see community and how you work in the Developer Relations world.

    After Pulse: What's Changed Since Community Pulse Started!

    We’re reflecting on how the show has evolved, from adding Pulse and tightening our structure to getting comfortable recording without guests. We also look back at the biggest shifts in DevRel over the past decade (no, you can’t say AI), share thoughts on where the industry is headed, and dig into highlights from the Decade of DevRel report.

    What's Changed Since the Community Pulse Started! (Ep 100)

    It’s been 10 years since the start of Community Pulse and, appropriately enough, we’ve reached the milestone of 100 episodes. To celebrate, we invited Jono Bacon -- our very first guest on the show -- and SJ Morris -- a former host of the show -- to join us and reminisce about changes in the DevRel industry as well as how we’ve changed personally and professionally over the last 10 years. We’ll laugh a little… cry a little… and as always, learn a lot along the way.

    Work/Life Blur: Navigating the Grey (Ep 98)

    Sometimes work stretches beyond “normal” hours, and while we might welcome that when we’re energized by the project, other times it’s a real struggle. In this episode, Jason, PJ, and Mary unpack the difference between working late because we love the job versus doing it just to meet a deadline. They also explore how to recognize when those long hours are a sign of a toxic environment or poor prioritization—and what we can do to push back. Photo by Mohammad Alizade on Unsplash.

    Vibing on Vibe Coding (Ep 97)

    "Vibe coding" is gaining traction as a new way to approach software development—but what does it actually mean? In this episode, we unpack the term, explore how it's shaping the developer experience, and examine its potential to transform developer relations. We'll break down the pros and cons, from faster workflows to new challenges in communication and code quality, and discuss what this shift means for DevRel professionals today and in the future.

    The Decline of Technical Influencers (Ep 96)

    There has been a lot of chat about the decline of the tech influencer. Where have they all gone? Is tech influence too heavy or too light?

    The Importance of Humility and Sincerity in DevRel (Ep 95)

    Communicating the message is only part of the job of a DevRel practitioner - there’s also the method. Ensuring you share the same alignment and you are seen as a member of the community is even more important than being able to educate a community. In this episode we’ll look at the importance of keeping yourself humble and keeping the message sincere in order to find success within the tech world. "Sit down.
