Episode 122 Jono Bacon, author of "People Powered"
October 05, 2023 09:30 - 40 minutes - 36.8 MBWhat to do if you don’t have magic pixie dust to sprinkle on your role in devrel? Jono Bacon and Richard discuss this and other relevant career conundrums in this entertaining episode. There needs to be clear understanding of each role within the many parts of developer relations function. Founders and executives needs help and support to understand the good fits for each role and the expectations. Too many professionals in developer relations have not fully managed the bus...
Episode 121 Carter Rabasa, Head of Developer Relations at Courier
October 03, 2023 04:00 - 40 minutes - 36.7 MBCarter Rabasa is Head of Developer Relations at Courier and joins Richard in this Fireside with Voxgig chat. This starts as a history of developer relations, but exposes a question, a gap; who were the devrel leaders in the API/cloud era? The activity of developer relations as it is recognised today could be argued to have begun from 2010 onwards and perhaps GitHub is the genesis of this stage. They also clearly emphasise the need for empathy and how to harness that superpo...
Episode 120 Marino Wijay, Developer Advocate and Organiser
September 28, 2023 04:00 - 35 minutes - 32.9 MBHere at the Voxgig podcast we’ve decided that we’re sick of talking about DevRel all the time.

Marino Wijay joins Richard to talk about operator relations, and his work for solo.io as a developer advocate. Solo helps companies unite their services into functional applications using Kubernetes and cloud-native technologies. So what’s Marino’s role? To make sure developers only have ...
Episode 119 Rohit Ghumare, Developer Advocate, Community Builder, Public Speaker
September 21, 2023 04:00 - 28 minutes - 26.3 MBWe’ve invited Rohit Ghumare to speak with us in this episode of the podcast, not just to ask him about his impressive Twitter following (although this will come up), but also to find out how he organises his time as a community organiser and developer advocate. As Richard knows all too well, startups require everyone to become a multi-hyphenate. But even in bigger organisations, with a whole team surrounding you, the work of a developer advocate can never be categorised simpl...
Episode 118 Robert Kaminski, Co-Founder and Partner at Fletch PMM
September 19, 2023 04:00 - 53 minutes - 49.1 MBWhat even is positioning? Isn’t it that thing you do when you’ve already established your company and you’ve kind of already got everything figured out? According to this episode’s guest, Robert Kaminski: Absolutely Not! Robert is the co-founder of Fletch PMM, where positioning is their bread and butter, and he’s here to tell us about his belief that positioning should be one of the first considerations when getting a startup on its feet.

Episode 117 Pavan Belagatti, Developer evangelist, tech writer and content creator
September 14, 2023 07:00 - 26 minutes - 24.3 MBThere’s a large population of technical writers in devrel. And a big number of these technical writers don’t necessarily come from technical backgrounds. So how do they do it? In this episode, Richard has a fascinating discussion on this topic and more with developer evangelist, Pavan Belegatti. Pavan transitioned from a marketer to a highly skilled technical writer. He’s a self-taught developer and he gives us an insight into the marriage between writing and coding. In deve...
Episode 116 Chris Chinchilla, Technical Communicator
September 12, 2023 04:00 - 46 minutes - 42.7 MBTechnical writing is an essential element of countless products and services. So why is appreciation of it on the decline? Our guest, Chris Ward (or Chris Chinchilla as you may know him), is a talented writer. Not just of technical content, but also of fiction and music! He’s here to kick our writing brains into gear with a simple piece of advice: just start. Richard agrees that he needs to hear this as much as our listeners and that it’s one of the biggest hurdles for people...
Episode 115 Taariq Lewis Founder and CEO at Volume Finance
September 07, 2023 04:00 - 42 minutes - 38.8 MBContent warning: laugh out loud moments and irreverent attitude to “boring” insurance companies. In this episode Richard chats to a very positive blast from his past. Taariq Lewis gave Richard work when Richard needed it many years ago. They’ve each gone on and had several start ups and overcome lots of entrepreneurial hurdles since then, but that core decency informs not only this episode but Taariq and Richard’s philosophy about hiring and people. As Taariq put it about h...

September 05, 2023 04:00 - 41 minutes - 38 MBRory Madden, Co-Founder of UXDX, joins Richard on this episode of the podcast to talk us through his journey to creating one of the most dynamic, barrier-free conference series’ in tech. UXDX (UX being user experience, DX being developer experience) was born from Rory’s frustration when he couldn’t figure out how to implement innovative solutions in the companies he was working in, and he was always looking for case studies of people who had done it before him, as a way to bo...
Episode 113 Joe Pettersson, CTO at Banked.com
August 31, 2023 04:00 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBJoe Pettersson joins the podcast, to talk all things devrel at banked.com. Banked is a global payments network, and if you’ve ever tried to order anything online, you’ll know that the payments systems used by various websites are far from perfect. Banked is on a mission to fix that. They want to get users through payments systems as smoothly as possible. As Joe puts it, the payments industry is big, but old-fashioned. So the question for him and the team at Banked became “how...

Episode 111 Salma Alam Naylor Web Developer and Live Streamer
August 24, 2023 07:00 - 42 minutes - 39.3 MBDid we get Salma onto Fireside just so Richard could learn how to begin his Twitch streaming career? It's possible! Salma Alam-Naylor is a live streamer, software engineer and developer educator. She streams on Twitch under the moniker “whitep4nth3r” - and she dives into the backstory around this name in the episode (we think it’s great, for the record). Salma gets into it about live streaming, content creation and personality. Over the years, she has carefully built her vie...
Episode 110 Maria Ashby, developer advocate at Botkube
August 22, 2023 10:00 - 46 minutes - 42.3 MBToday, Richard speaks to Maria Ashby, developer advocate at Kubeshop. She talks all things Kubernetes, community building, and how developer monoculture is a thing of the past. Back in the days of an early version of Voxgig, Richard and the team got a crash course in Kubernetes which left more questions than answers. If Maria's work with Kubeshop had been around then, that might not have been the case. Kubeshop is a Kubernetes accelerator, which applies the power of Communit...
Episode 109 Anna Redbond, CMO at Flagsmith
August 17, 2023 07:00 - 36 minutes - 33 MBHave you ever wondered what marketing people think of developers? As it turns out, it’s very positive, at least according to Anna Redbond, CMO of Flagsmith. Anna joins us to talk about the world of marketing in a technical space. As someone who works with words, how does she market towards people who work with numbers? Anna and Flagsmith find ways to bridge the divide with their work helping companies eliminate risk and increase efficiency in their development process. The f...
Episode 108 Zachariah Peterson, conference speakers, electronics designer, strategic advisor
August 15, 2023 10:50 - 34 minutes - 31.5 MBThe first thing to know about Zach Peterson is that he’s a hardware guy. Richard is not. Can this divide be bridged by a friendly Fireside chat? Well as turns out, bridging the divide between these two industries is pretty essential for the tech world at large. It may seem obvious, but you can’t really have one without the other - until they learn how to install Twitter in our brains that is, and thankfully that seems to be a long way off yet. So what’s the solution? DevRel,...

The rest of us can take heart in Trish’s reassurance that even she experiences stage fright, and that (clearly) it can be overcome. There are a number of valuable tidbits here. Trish’s wealth of experience translates to a deep understanding of the psychology behind audien...

July 27, 2023 17:00 - 36 minutes - 33.3 MBTune in for an in-depth chat about how companies can improve their revenue through fully understanding their open source project and software. Emily speaks truthful sense. This is a tough message for the overly optimistic among you. As Richard so rightly points out – knowing the right thing to do vs doing it are two different things! Emily outlines the many, many ways a company can leverage open source in their offerings and is beautifully frank about source available vs op...
