After the excitement of our 200th episode earlier this week, it’s back to our regularly scheduled programming here at Fireside. And what’s become regular for us, along with seemingly the whole world, are discussions of AI and the current and potential consequences of its use.

Steven Coochin

It’s episode TWO HUNDRED! And what a two hundred episodes they’ve been, from public speaking, to Developer Advocacy, to our recent focus on the API space, it’s been an incredible journey, and we want to thank you, our listeners above all, for sticking with us, and inspiring us to stay curious.

Diversity and inclusion have been firmly in the “could do better” section of The tech industry’s report card for quite a few years now. But in this episode from November of last year, Furkan Karayel is determined to change that.

Jock Busuttil

We're joined once again by Jock Busuttil, for an update on his work at Product People, and to gain his thoughts on the wider product managing space (and why Product Management is starting to look more and more like product marketing).

Caelen King (repeat)

Caelen King (repeat)

When we relaunched the Fireside with Voxgig podcast over a year ago, Caelen King was one of our first guests and even then, it was obvious there were tech layoffs happening. But Caelen gives great advice to non-tech founders and leaders about hiring - no matter what the market dynamics may be.

Back in the days of an early version of Voxgig, Richard and the team got a crash course in Kubernetes which left more questions than answers. If Maria's work with Kubeshop had been around then, that might not have been the case.

Technical writing is an essential element of countless products and services. So why is appreciation of it on the decline? Our guest, Chris Ward (or Chris Chinchilla as you may know him), is a talented writer. Not just of technical content, but also of fiction and music!

Marino Wijay (repeat)

Marino Wijay (repeat)

Here at the Voxgig podcast we’ve decided that we’re sick of talking about DevRel all the time. So we’ve decided to switch it up with something completely different for this episode - DevOps! Marino Wijay joins Richard to talk operator relations, and his work for solo.io as a developer advocate.

Marc Laventure (repeat)

Marc Laventure (repeat)

Today we're revisiting this career guidance episode from last year! Julia has a background in law, marketing and now is a successful developer relations guru. Julia generously shares her journey to DevRel in an accessible chat and with an achievable pathway. But be prepared to commit time and effort

Philipp Krenn

When it comes to Developer Relations, today’s guest believes the word “developer” comes first in that label for a reason.
