DevRel is much more than conferences and talks.
I spoke with Juarez Barbosa Jr. about what the role really involves, how developers can break into it, and the skills that matter beyond code.

Unpopular opinion: your documentation is doing more selling than your website is.
Technical buyers don't start on your homepage. They start in your docs, because that's where they find out if the thing does what you claim.

Yeah thats been talked about #devrel roles and allow any car to be read in this talk from #DevOpsDaysCHI
I used to know when a draft was ready: clear audience focus, usable unique info, a push to action. Publish it.
That test is incomplete now. Discovery often starts with an AI assistant, not a human reading top to bottom.

This is most truthful and enlightening read about the reality. Thank you for sharing! Many say ai agents now ship code 24/7 so we don't need code contributors or engineers to be reached via #DevRel efforts. They say there is no intrinsic value (sad part).
AI agents contributing code 24/7 doesn't build community.
It just creates review overhead and user noise. Founders who devalue #DevRel forget that code is cheap, but trust is hard.
Ever dealt with maintainers dismissing non-code work?
