In this episode, Nathan Wrigley talks with Jonathan Bossinger, a developer advocate at Automattic, about his journey into WordPress and developer relations (DevRel). Jonathan shares how his passion for teaching led him from software development to DevRel, explains the varied roles within DevRel, and discusses the importance of both technical skills and the ability to teach and communicate effectively. The conversation covers team collaboration, feedback processes in open source, and advice for those interested in pursuing a similar path. Jonathan emphasises humility, adaptability, and a love for helping others as key traits for success in DevRel.
Abrimos o episódio colocando a mão na massa: como desenhar uma experiência de desenvolvedores (DevX) que realmente reduz lead time e aumenta throughput de entregas. Com a presença do Luiz Henrique e da Larissa Vitoriano, exploramos o que o time do iFood aprendeu ao escalar plataformas internas, padronizar fluxos de entrega e melhorar a autonomia das squads sem perder governança.Também entramos no universo de Developer Relations (DevREL) — não como “marketing técnico”, mas como ponte entre produto, plataforma e comunidade. Falamos de como priorizar feedback produtivo, quais métricas evitam vaidade e como alinhar backlog de plataforma com as dores reais de quem está codando todos os dias.Pra fechar, discutimos IA “na vida real”: onde modelos (tradicionais e LLMs) já estão gerando valor no ciclo de desenvolvimento, como observabilidade e custo entram na equação e os limites práticos de adoção — desde MLOps, finops de inferência, até segurança e privacidade.Links Importantes:- Larissa Vitoriano - https://www.linkedin.com/in/larissavitoriano/- Luiz Henrique - https://www.linkedin.com/in/luizhenrique1987/- Blog do IFood Tech - https://medium.com/ifood-tech- João Brito - https://www.linkedin.com/in/juniorjbn/- Assista ao FilmeTEArapia - https://youtu.be/M4QFmW_HZh0?si=HIXBDWZJ8yPbpflMHashtags#DevX #DevREL #IA #MLOps #Plataformas #Observabilidade #FinOps #SRE #CulturaDev #Produtividade #Kubernetes #DevOps #DevSecOps #Kubicast #Containers #GetupO Kubicast é uma produção da Getup, empresa especialista em Kubernetes e projetos open source para Kubernetes.

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.

Andrew Filev is the founder of Zencoder. Zencoder is building AI coding agents. In this episode, we explore the evolution from simple code completion AI to more sophisticated software engineering agents. While tools like GitHub Copilot revolutionized code suggestions, the next frontier involves AI agents that can handle complex engineering tasks and collaborate with each other through emerging protocols.The discussion dives into agent-to-agent protocols, which enable AI systems to work together autonomously on software development tasks. This advancement suggests a future where AI agents could manage entire development workflows, from requirements gathering to testing and deployment. We also touch on the importance of using slower summer periods strategically - making it an ideal time for engineering teams to evaluate their tooling, processes, and prepare for upcoming development cycles.This episode is brought to you by WorkOS.

Why/how we lipsynced: The (amazing) studio accidentally had Utpal's camera switched off for the first 20 minutes. So I lipsynced the audio onto the latter part of the video. You can probably notice if you look closely. And also his gestures don't always look congruent because of the lipsyncing. But overall, incredible tech from Tavus - much better than a blank screen in my opinion!

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.

For EP31 of Chain Reactions, we sat down with Bettina Sosa — one of the newest guild leads at Myosin and our DevRel whisperer — to unpack why every founder building in crypto needs to treat Developer Relations as a core part of their go-to-market motion.We trace Bettina's path from researching self-sovereign identity at Imperial College (shoutout to her Venezuelan roots and her early hopes to fix broken ID systems) to helping major DAOs like Aragon and Bankless with their onboarding UX. Along the way, she shares what it was like moving from research to shipping product, how she started writing dev-focused content to demystify EVM and MEV, and why so much DevRel in Web3 misses the mark.We go deep on what great DevRel actually looks like — beyond just hackathons and bounties — and explore everything from niche TG groups and cold outreach to AI learning tools, dev onboarding trends, and the regions everyone's sleeping on (spoiler: it's not just Asia anymore).If you're serious about growing your protocol, building developer ecosystems, or just want to understand why “just having docs” won't cut it — this one's for you.Please enjoy, and as always, don't forget to subscribe, give us a five-star review, and mint the episode at pods.media/myosinxyz!
