Episode 129 Daniel Bryant (Repeat)

This time we dip back in to the recent archives and repeat the conversation with Daniel Bryant, who has got Richard into a lot more conferences than he cares to admit. Daniel is a self described technical storyteller and is a news manager at InfoQ. At the time of the interview last year, Daniel was head of DevRel at Ambassador Labs. Daniel was pretty much there from the start and has had the experience of building an integrated developer relations function inside a company that works really well with all the other functions within the company.

But we start the discussion with the banal: swag, the place of swag in the modern developer conference. A question of great importance for your times. Where does one get T-Shirts if not as swag?!

Richard and Daniel then get a little philosophical, because the word community has come to mean a great may tings and almost nothing now. And what does it mean to have a developer community, and what does the word community mean in that context? Daniel talks about why he prefers the word ecosystem.

Finally, they talk about product-led growth and how creating the right operational structures, and in particular, working really well with your data science team, can be super effective at making the whole organization work together functionally.
