NEW RELEASE

Stacey Kruczek

When Stacey Kruczek joined Aerospike.com, their community building needed a little TLC from a developer relations expert. These days, the community is 12,000 people strong, and she knows exactly how to prove DevRel’s business value. In this episode, we chat with Stacey about all this and more.

Andrew Grill

We celebrate our 100th episode welcoming back Andrew Grill to talk about Digital Curiosity. Are you allocating enough time to think about what’s happening, trends and the future? Andrew’s new book, coming out later this year, is titled Digital Curiosity.

Johannes Dienst & Apoorva Tiwari

Johannes Dienst & Apoorva Tiwari

This episode is almost a case study in how askui.com engages with their developer audience. Johannes Dienst is the Developer Advocate and Apoorva Tiwari is the Community Manager with askui.

Tejas Kumar

A conversational episode, with a real meeting of minds. This one is for the secret eavesdropper!

Steve Coochin

Richard first encountered Steve DeveloperSteve Coochin when Voxgig experienced first hand Steve’s and Lumigo’s incredible developer relations and developer support. So did Richard get lucky or is this just how Steve rolls?

Alex Lakatos

A two-for-one deal here! A tutorial on how international and card payments work. And then DevRel discussion on APIs and SDKs involved with Open Source projects and bringing in contributors and building the community.

Megan Slater

Listen closely and you’ll hear the wheels turning in Richard's brain as this conversation goes on and he gets the how to guide from Megan on community building. They get in to the weeds on community building tools!

Tim Nolet

This was another enjoyable episode for Richard where he gets to talk to the Co-Founder of a service he uses, regularly and with great success! Tim Nolet is the CTO and Co-Founder of Checkly, a synthetic testing tool. Don’t worry – Tim explains synthetic in this context.

Michiel Mulders

Michiel Mulders

Michiel Mulders is a wonderful example of a creative developer, driven to share knowledge and committed to quality documentation. He delivers a module on documentation and technical writing at DevRel University, free online course dedicated to Web3 DevRel.

Sid Maestre

It’s possible we generated more questions than we answered in this episode. This was straight from the practice of developer relations. Sid is the VP of Developer Relations at APIMatic which has ben around about eight years but has a start-up energy.

Chris O'Neill

Richard was delighted to talk to Chris O’Neill, the first Developer Advocate at Stytch for this week’s Fireside with Voxgig podcast. Why? Well, recently Richard and the team at Voxgig had the very great pleasure of using Stytch – and it worked a dream.

Jason St-Cyr

This episode looks at how DevRel works at very large organisations. Jason St-Cyr, Developer Relations Leader at Sitecore, one of the largest digital experience providers in the world. With such a large ecosystem, it’s no wonder that DevRel looks different here than in a SaaS start-up!

Brian Douglas

OpenSauced.pizza want to understand where contributions to Open Source projects are coming from. Brian Douglas was the first official Developer Advocate in GitHub! Brian is also another example of a degree in something not computer science. With a finance degree, he taught himself to code.

Lewis Meyers

This week, Richard talks to Lewis Meyers in an open, honest and fascinating conversation about breaking in to the tech industry from a military and martial arts background. Lewis did a bootcamp, and they discuss the attitude towards bootcamps and his experience as a bootcamp student.

Jono Bacon

No surprise given Jono’s heavy metal credentials, this episode starts out with a reassuring tale about a rock gig…with more people in the band than in the audience…. So as a conference speaker or community builder, remember that everyone has started out somewhere.

Adam Christian

Ah, documentation! Imagine a Readme where the samples you run actually work? Runable commands should become runabale – out of the box with Runme. It’s not magic, it’s the passion of Adam Christian and his team at Stateful to address the epidemic of non-maintained documentations.

Public Speaking
