    Our hosts elaborate on the notion that, apart from speaking engagements, much of the work undertaken by DevRel professionals remains backstage, yet through live streaming, they can learn publicly and involve community members, overcoming concerns and fostering engaging content for community learning.

    Live Streaming (Ep 88)

    With the exception of speaking at conferences, much of what we do as DevRel professionals is behind-the-scenes. However, with live streaming, we’re able to not only learn in public, but bring our community members into the experience.


    While this can be intimidating, and lead to questions like “what if I make a mistake?” - or - “What if I don’t know all the answers?” - or - “How do I make sure I come across as knowledgeable while I’m also learning?” it can also be a great way to create engaging content that helps your community learn alongside you.

    Mentoring: Leading the Future (Ep 86)

    Part of the road to being better at Developer Relations is applying what we’ve learned and passing that knowledge on to others. Whether you are a direct mentor or leading a team of folks new to DevRel, it’s important to take stock of what we are doing and how we can best serve the people we know with the knowledge we have.

Mary always provides great content

As a new person in DevRel these quick episodes help fill in some knowledge gaps.

The go-to place for DevRel Content

In a world where finding quality content on how to do this new job called devrel, it can be hard to find support, learn, and do a better job. Community pulse as a group is the de-facto go-to place to learn about devrel. Pretty much the basis of everything I do now they have taught me in one place or the other.

I joined a company as a developer advocate because the owners “were told by their investors it was important” and that was all they knew. So they said “go be good at this job now”. I was excited because it sounded like exactly what I wanted to do, but not exactly sure how to do it to the highest level.

I was happy to find their podcast, Mary’s book, their slack, and their community to help me on this journey and learn more about everything there is to know about devrel, and how to do it affectively. They have a ton of experience and are a great place to learn anything and everything you want to know about being successful in this crazy new role. Be sure to give them a listen.

Amazing!

Mary, Jason, and PJ are three of the best podcast hosts I've heard. I absolutely love listening to their expertise in each episode, and I would definitely recommend this podcast to anyone looking to learn as much as they can.
