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:

Deborah breaks down what query letters are actually for, what agents want to see (and don't), and how writers can avoid the most common—and most damaging—mistakes.This episode is packed with actionable advice, mindset shifts, and real-world examples from the querying trenches.About Our GuestDeborah Crossland teaches English and mythology at a community college and writes myth-based contemporary YA novels with a feminist lens. Her novel The Quiet Part Out Loud was published in 2023, with the paperback released in 2024. She lives in Northern California and is passionate about making education accessible to all.Key Topics & TakeawaysWhat a Query Letter Is (and Isn't)The sole purpose of a query letter is to get an agent to request pages—not to sell the book or explain the entire plot.Think invitation, not explanation.The Anatomy of a Strong QueryA compelling hook (often 1–2 sentences)A focused pitch centered on external stakesBrief book details (genre, word count, comps)A short, professional author bioExternal Stakes Matter More Than You ThinkWriters often lean too hard on internal stakes; agents need to see what's happening.External conflict is what differentiates your book in a crowded field.If an agent can't picture the story visually, the query isn't doing its job.Pitch vs. SynopsisThe query pitch should not include spoilers or the ending.The synopsis is where you explain the full story, including how it ends.Mixing these up is one of the most common querying mistakes.How to Personalize Without Being CringeyReference an agent's manuscript wish list, not their personal life.Keep personalization professional, brief, and relevant.Treat it like a business introduction—not a social interaction.Query Etiquette (and Red Flags)Always submit queries exactly how the agent requests.Never DM agents or email around Query Manager.Don't announce querying rounds or submissions on social media.Avoid pitching your unpublished book publicly on Instagram, TikTok, or X.Author Bios for Debut WritersIt's perfectly acceptable to say, “This is my first novel.”Writing credentials are optional; strong pages matter more.Publishing loves debuts—lack of experience is not a liability.Series Talk: Less Is MoreDon't pitch a multi-book series as a debut.“Standalone with series potential” is sufficient.Length & ClarityQueries should be concise and tightly written.Every word must earn its place.If you can't summarize your story clearly, you may not be ready to query.Hooks, Loglines, and Netflix ThinkingThink in terms of loglines or streaming-style descriptions.If you can't explain your story in one sharp sentence, that's a sign to step back.
