Web and Mobile App Development (Language Agnostic, and Based on Real-life experience!)
The way software gets built is changing fast—and not quietly. Tools powered by large language models are reshaping who can build, how fast teams move, and what “being a developer” even means. In a recent Snowpal podcast episode, Federico Sarquis, Head of Developer Relations at Crossmint, shared an unfiltered view from the front lines of fintech, AI-assisted development, and modern product teams . Federico discusses the evolving landscape of software development, particularly the impact of AI and wipe coding. He shares insights on how non-developers can leverage AI tools, the importance of agency in hiring, and the changing dynamics of development teams. He also touches on the challenges in the FinTech space, the significance of compliance, and the future of programming languages. The discussion highlights the need for adaptability and creativity in the tech industry, as well as cultural insights from Argentina.
Developers are not just writing code anymore. They are starting to run a virtual team. At AWS re:Invent, I had a conversation with Jemiah Sius, VP, Market Strategy and Developer Relations, from New Relic about how AI is changing the day-to-day life of developers. This was one of those chats that makes you pause and rethink how software will be built very soon.Here is what stood out-- Agentic AI is becoming real for developers Teams are excited about agents that behave like a digital team or a virtual SRE, taking care of reliability and performance while developers focus on building features-- Developers are becoming orchestrators Over the next 6 to 8 months, the role of the developer is shifting. Less time writing every line of code, more time directing agents and tools. This shift is already driving a big jump in productivity-- Observability matters more than ever As agents start working across multiple LLM servers and interacting with other agents, visibility becomes critical. Without observability across the full agent layer, things can quickly create more work instead of less-- New Relic and AWS coming together We talked about the New Relic integration with AWS Q, which brings observability data directly into AWS DevOps workflows, and the new security agent that surfaces real production data on vulnerabilitiesIt was great catching up with Jemiah again and hearing how New Relic is thinking about the future of developers and reliability.#Data #AI #AWSRecipes #NewRelic #AgenticAI #Security #MCP #reinvent #NewRelic #TheRavitShow

What does it actually take to build trust with developers when your product sits quietly inside thousands of other products, often invisible to the people using it every day? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Ondřej Chrastina, Developer Relations at CKEditor, to unpack a career shaped by hands-on experience, curiosity, and a deep respect for developer time. Ondřej's story starts in QA and software testing, moves through development and platform work, and eventually lands in developer relations. What makes his perspective compelling is that none of these roles felt disconnected. Each one sharpened his understanding of real developer friction, the kind you only notice when you have lived with a product day in and day out. We talked about what changes when you move from monolithic platforms to API-first services, and why developer relations looks very different depending on whether your audience is an application developer, a data engineer, or an integrator working under tight delivery pressure. Ondřej shared how his time at Kentico, Kontent.ai, and Ataccama shaped his approach to tooling, documentation, and examples. For him, theory rarely lands. Showing something that works, even in a small or imperfect way, tends to earn attention and respect far faster. At CKEditor, that thinking becomes even more interesting. The editor is everywhere, yet rarely recognized. It lives inside SaaS platforms, internal tools, CRMs, and content systems, quietly doing its job. We explored how developer experience matters even more when the product itself fades into the background, and why long-term maintenance, support, and predictability often outweigh short-term feature excitement. Ondřej also explained why building instead of buying an editor is rarely as simple as teams expect, especially when standards, security, and future updates enter the picture. We also got into the human side of developer relations. Balancing credibility with business goals, staying useful rather than loud, and acting as a bridge between engineering, product, marketing, and the outside world. Ondřej was refreshingly honest about the role ego can play, and why staying close to real usage is the fastest way to keep yourself grounded. If you care about developer experience, internal tooling, or how invisible infrastructure shapes modern software, this conversation offers plenty to reflect on. What have you seen work, or fail, when it comes to earning developer trust, and where do you think developer relations still get misunderstood?

Developer Relations wirkt von außen oft wie eine Bühne, ein Reisekoffer und ein paar Sticker am Messestand. Aber was, wenn genau diese Rolle der stärkste Hebel ist, um dein Produkt besser zu machen, deine Tech-Community ernsthaft aufzubauen und Entwickler:innen wirklich erfolgreich zu machen?In dieser Episode nehmen wir Developer Relations auseinander, ganz ohne Marketing-Buzzword-Bingo. Zu Gast ist Philipp Krenn, Head of Developer Relations bei Elastic. Philipp bringt nicht nur jahrelange DevRel-Praxis mit, sondern auch Community-DNA, von Viennadb-Meetups bis Papers We Love, plus Open-Source-Erfahrung rund um Google Summer of Code und das Elastic-Ökosystem.Wir klären, was DevRel eigentlich ist, wo die Grenze zu Developer Marketing verläuft und warum der wichtigste Unterschied oft die Zwei-Wege-Kommunikation ist: raus in die Community und zurück ins Produktteam. Wir sprechen über den Alltag von Developer Advocates, Konferenzen, Content, Community Support auf Discourse, Reddit, Stack Overflow und Slack und wie man Feedback so sammelt, dass es in Roadmaps landet. Dazu kommt die große Frage: Influencer oder nicht? Und warum der Personenkult für Firmen gefährlich werden kann.Außerdem geht es um Open Source, Meetups, Tech Community, Networking, KPIs ohne falsche Anreize, den DevRel-Hype-Zyklus rund um AI und welche Skills du brauchst, wenn du selbst in Developer Relations einsteigen willst.Am Ende weißt du nicht nur, ob DevRel zu dir passt, sondern auch, wie du als Entwickler:in DevRel wirklich nutzen kannst, ohne nur Socken mitzunehmen.Bonus: Wenn jemand mit Laptop und kaputter Query kommt, ist das für Philipp kein Problem, sondern der Wunschzustand.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

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.

Strategic Technology Consultation Services This episode of The Modern .NET Show is supported, in part, by RJJ Software's Strategic Technology Consultation Services. If you're an SME (Small to Medium Enterprise) leader wondering why your technology investments aren't delivering, or you're facing critical decisions about AI, modernization, or team productivity, let's talk. Show Notes "From the first engagement with any from Umbraco, it's been a friendly approach. We are friendly. It's a part of our DNA. Professional. We take our work dead seriously, but we want to have fun, but we are friendly."— Mats Persson Hey everyone, and welcome back to The Modern .NET Show; the premier .NET podcast, focusing entirely on the knowledge, tools, and frameworks that all .NET developers should have in their toolbox. I'm your host Jamie Taylor, bringing you conversations with the brightest minds in the .NET ecosystem. Today, both Emma Burstow and Mats Persson of Umbraco are here to share their expertise on building Umbraco—a completely open source CMS, known as the friendly CMS. Emma is Umbraco's Director of Developer Relations and Mats is their newly appointed CEO. "One of our values is openness. And once again, I'll say we really walk the walk. So we alert people early. We work in public, truly. We don't just, you know, update things on git as in terms of code. We write words around it. We have discussion boards We have ongoing issues that are open, and we talk to people that are working with the product"— Emma Burstow We also dive into what it's like to build Umbraco completely in the open, which led to some fascinating insights into how to build and manage a world-wide community of contributors, but also how to help manage expectations of those developers and technologists.

Talk Python To Me - Python conversations for passionate developers
Agentic AI programming is what happens when coding assistants stop acting like autocomplete and start collaborating on real work. In this episode, we cut through the hype and incentives to define “agentic,” then get hands-on with how tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and LangChain actually behave inside an established codebase. Our guest, Matt Makai, now VP of Developer Relations at DigitalOcean, creator of Full Stack Python and Plushcap, shares hard-won tactics. We unpack what breaks, from brittle “generate a bunch of tests” requests to agents amplifying technical debt and uneven design patterns. Plus, we also discuss a sane git workflow for AI-sized diffs. You'll hear practical Claude tips, why developers write more bugs when typing less, and where open source agents are headed. Hint: The destination is humans as editors of systems, not just typists of code.

The single biggest predictor of success with AI isn't the model you choose, it's the DevOps culture you've already built. Martin Woodward, VP of Developer Relations at GitHub - and the sixth person to ever use Copilot - joins us to explain why this surprising insight is key to the new era of autonomous coding agents. He traces the evolution of GitHub Copilot from a simple autocomplete to a powerful agent that opens its own pull requests, arguing that AI's true power is as a massive accelerant for the iterative loops high-performing teams have already perfected.Martin explains that teams with strong guardrails for shipping quickly and safely are best equipped to leverage this AI revolution because they can trust the accelerated output. He also reveals how top teams use the key technique of custom instructions to guide Copilot toward writing the code of the future, not just mimicking the code of the past. This conversation uncovers how new agentic workflows are 'tricking' developers into improving their communication and documentation skills, providing a crucial look at the cultural foundations required to thrive in the AI-accelerated enterprise.Check out:AI code review tools: 2025 evaluation guideFollow the hosts:Follow BenFollow AndrewFollow today's guest(s):Martin's GitHub Galaxy Keynote: Watch "The AI-Accelerated Enterprise”GitHub Copilot: Learn more about the tools and featuresGitHub Universe Conference: Look out for announcements for the upcoming conferenceConnect with Martin: Martin's Social Media Hub (Martin.Social)Connect with Erika on LinkedIn Referenced in today's show:GPT-5: Overdue, overhyped and underwhelming.
