Podcast appearances and mentions of wesley faulkner

In this After Pulse the hosts get into what it's actually like to be the odd one out in the room, the person who can see the bigger picture when everyone else is heads down on their own slice of the problem. They share personal anecdoates about trying to get stakeholders to zoom out, see who a decision actually impacts, and what's worked and what hasn't when you're the one connecting dots nobody else is putting together yet.

In this episode of Community Pulse, we discuss the challenge DevRel teams face when raising concerns internally. Because they're closely connected to the developer community, they often spot issues before anyone else. Speaking up too often can make them seem overly negative or resistant to change. We explore how to communicate concerns effectively, maintain credibility with stakeholders, and continue advocating for the community without becoming “the person who always pumps the brakes.” Checkouts Wesley Faulkner Work's Not Working - A community for those struggling in the workplace to get real help instead of platitudes.

Prompted by some content on “How to Succeed in DevRel” that was clearly AI produced, Jason, PJ, and Wesley go down the rabbit hole of how developers are affected by AI generated content, what the real value of AI content is to developers, and a few points on what exactly the value is of creating content for AI instead of human developers.

Our lived experiences often inform our work. This is true in the world of DevRel as well. Whether you have organized a church group, been in a band, or put together a big party - some of those experiences will leak over into how you see community and how you work in the Developer Relations world.

We're reflecting on how the show has evolved, from adding Pulse and tightening our structure to getting comfortable recording without guests. We also look back at the biggest shifts in DevRel over the past decade (no, you can't say AI), share thoughts on where the industry is headed, and dig into highlights from the Decade of DevRel report.

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.

In this episode, we unpack the term, explore how it's shaping the developer experience, and examine its potential to transform developer relations. We'll break down the pros and cons, from faster workflows to new challenges in communication and code quality, and discuss what this shift means for DevRel professionals today and in the future.
