×Today we’re speaking to the wonderful Abhishek Mishra of Tune AI, a Gen AI stack, that focuses on fine-tuning and deploying generative AI models. With two products under their belt, they’ve had their hands full and Abhishek joins us to tell us all about it. In this episode we discuss the topic of playgrounds, and the vital role they play. Something not always considered, is that not everyone has the capability to test if an LLM will work for them or their product, so playgrounds that allow for experimentation are essential for reaching those people. We also get onto the topic of DevRel backgrounds, and how Abhishek believes every DevRel should work as a developer, not just to know the pain points, but to have a fully rounded understanding of how to advocate for them.

Trey Botard joins the ranks of our guests with an unconventional entry into DevRel. He’s the Head of Developer Relations at Atomic, a digital financial connectivity platform that manages online payroll transactions. His origin story begins with wine, and helping a team of waiters understand how to sell it to customers. Sounds like a familiar setup… With this background, and an interest in tech, it’s not surprising that Trey found his way to DevRel. The importance of making customers feel special and heard is something he emphasises, as well as building trust by not just telling, but showing. As are many people, Trey is stuck in an ever growing pile of Slack channels. So of course, this has inspired his current desire to find a better way to manage information distribution in a way that is efficient but not overbearing. We’re very excited to hear his update on this in a few years, but for now, you’ll have to enjoy hearing about all the other great work he’s doing!

Today we’re speaking to someone who could definitely give us all a few tips on how to make high quality, engaging DevRel content. We’re talking about Martyn Davies, the Developer Relations Leader at Zuplo, who joins us to talk APIs, developer experience and the wider world’s understanding of DevRel. Zuplo is an API management platform offering a better, more supportive experience to developers. As Martyn explains, this space has been dominated by a few big players for a long time, and they’re excited to continue shaking things up and offering something new to people. Martyn is leading the charge on Zuplo’s developer content, namely in the form of their wonderful Youtube channel, which has a distinctly friendly atmosphere. By focusing on the wider API world, as well as the benefits of using Zuplo, they’ve created something that stands apart in the sea of DevRel resources.

It can be a hard pill for DevRels to swallow, that not everyone loves learning as much as we do - but at the end of the day, this itself becomes a problem that we can spend time learning to solve! Too meta? Today’s guest is Ed Shee, the CTO of Ignitus, where they’re working on individualised AI powered mentors that eliminate the need for constant training and retraining of employees. What they discovered is that most people are at least a little resistant to learning new things, especially if they have to sign up for something, or create an account or disrupt their current task. So Ignitus incorporates this mentoring directly into the flow, creating a seamless transition. Ed speaks to us about what he’s taken from his DevRel history into this new role - for example, the incomparable power of on-demand learning tools being what sets AI powered tools apart from documentation as a singular resource. So while Ed may have stepped out of the DevRel world on paper, the ethos and ideas have continued to inform and bolster his new work. Be sure to listen for specific insight on Ed’s approach and how he goes about his work.

You may have heard of something called a “can-do” attitude. Well for today’s guest, Nuno Job, it’s more of a “will-do” attitude, as he seems to breeze past industry neurotics and red tape with admirable ease. Nuno is the Co-Founder of Decipad and was one of the organisers of the LXJS conference series. He’s here giving a little inspiration to those wanting to shake up the way things are done. Decipad is an interactive notebook that seeks to challenge the spreadsheet’s claim to mathematical dominance. Their strategy is unique, letting their community come to them as they continue to focus most of their energy on creating the best product they can. Nuno speaks to us about the power in surrendering - putting your energy into the world and accepting what it returns to you, rather than letting the rewards you seek dictate the way you live your life. It’s a refreshing break from the narrative we’re used to putting stock into, and the ethos seems to be rewarding Nuno in many ways besides monetary. This was a great chat on conferences, product building and opening your mind to creative solutions.

If you’ve ever been tasked with public speaking, then you’ve probably found yourself amongst the large majority of people who consider it to be one of the scariest things a person can do. And if that’s the case, you might be interested to hear from today’s guest, Pat Dwyer. Pat revisits us on the podcast, to discuss how he uses his nerves and adrenaline to inform what he does onstage, treating them as a boost, rather than a hindrance. We talk to Pat about what it’s like to feel a sense of “home” on the stage, and why it is that so many speakers find it much easier to talk to a crowd of a hundred people than to have a one-on-one conversation with a single new person in the conference room. One thing he draws our attention to is that talks, like products, require testing. How much humour, how much information, when to speed up or slow down? It all needs to be tested and tested again. Ultimately, what you’re there to do is serve your audience and give them the best experience. According to Pat, the moment a speaker starts thinking about their own stakes, the quality of their speaking tends to go off the rails. If there’s anyone in the speaking world to take advice from, it’s Pat.

We’re continuing to kick off the new year with Allan Knabe, the CEO and Co-Founder of apiable.io, an API portal that’s helping to smooth out the creation process. Building an API is harder than it looks, but it doesn’t always have to be such a difficult task. One of Apiable’s key priorities is seamless onboarding for developers, which sets them apart from other similar products. It’s the kind of thing that becomes important to you when you, like Allan and Richard, have encountered enough API portals that are simply repackaged swag documentation. Allan refers to this as part of his overall strategy of going back to basics. Let’s not forget to ask ourselves - what is project management? Are certain features helpful, or just impressive? Is what we’re creating practical? Sometimes the most obvious things are what get forgotten in the startup chaos, and we were delighted for Allan to remind us of them.

Welcome back! We’re bringing in 2025 (and with it a new, exciting lineup of guests) with an oldie but a goldie - Eoin Boylan. Eoin first visited us fireside in 2022, and we are delighted to have him back for an update on all he’s been up to since our first chat. SDK strategy can be divisive, with some business strategies being to avoid the topic altogether - but Eoin, who’s currently working as the Head Engineer at Evervault, finds them to be worth their salt as an investment. Evervault is a data security platform focusing on the payment space, serving as a one-stop-shop for developers. At their core, they remain developer first, retaining the knowledge from their early days, but now applying it to a more specific group of buyers. While we have time, we may touch on the current state of developer knowledge, and how, as useful as it may be, how ChatGPT may be influencing our bidding developers for the worst.

Today, we're revisiting this New Year's episode from 2024. Our guest was Andrew MacLean, the developer relations manager at DevCycle, a feature flag management platform for developers. If you’ve never heard of feature flag management, that’s probably because it’s a relatively new space, despite feature flags having been around forever. If you’re not familiar with the ins and outs of feature flags, one of their main benefits is allowing you to update your platform without having to deploy so many versions that you lose the ability to maintain quality. As with many of the people we feature on Fireside, this service could have been a game changer in some of the startups Richard has worked on over the years. Andrew dives into the history of feature flags, and what launched them into the mainstream. From Github devs, to articles, to implementation by major SaaS companies, word of mouth popularisation has made feature flags the staple they now are. Andrew also gives us some insight into his history. It’s a typical DevRel story, of falling into the industry somewhat by accident, but in Andrew’s case his starting point was studying for a career in forensic science. With a background almost as interesting as the work he does now, Andrew makes for a fascinating interviewee.

Top tip: if you’re thinking of getting into DevRel, just know that you will hate boxes of t-shirts for the rest of your life. Or at least that’s how today’s guest, Phil Leggetter feels about them. Merch getting stuck in customs is a minor issue for sure, but it’s one of the pitfalls of DevRel we get into in this episode. Phil is the Head of DevRel and Developer Marketing at Hookdeck, an event gateway that strives to be a backbone for event driven applications. We talk to Phil about the utility of SDKs, and where their detractors tend to miss out on their ultimate purpose. We speak about the connection to revenue, and the key to demonstrating it, if you have higher ambitions for DevRel. We also ask the question - is there an advantage for DevRel to stand apart from marketing, or does this cause us to miss out on another community that we might gel well with?

Today, we’re speaking to Kevlin Henney, who, if you scroll back far enough, you’ll see was one of our earliest guests on the podcast. We’re thrilled to have Kevlin back for a discussion on microservices, agile development and how developers can avoid the “factory line” work style. Kevlin talks to us about how there isn’t one service or language that has “the answer”, and the approach to tools should be broad and open to change. When developing a system, you’re creating something new - it’s not manufacturing, there is always an element of novelty to what you’re making, and that should be understood and accounted for. We also get into the subject of legacy code and systems, and how to interact with and manage them. The accommodations required to run such a system can often result in it making more decisions than the developers working on it. A code base that’s a decade old with multiple component systems fighting each other can present problems, but if everyone’s too afraid to change things up, then the maintenance costs will continue to rack up. It was a pleasure to have Kevlin back and we can’t wait to see what he’s up to, 200 more episodes down the line!

Today we’re talking observability, open source, developer education and the politics of conference speaking. And we’re doing it all with our amazing guest, Zameer Fouzan from New Relic. If you don’t already know, New Relic helps engineers effectively deploy and run software with Full Stack Observability. Where other companies may do observability, but don't have a single language to communicate it, New Relic makes use of a single specification that caters to all languages and frameworks with the same APIs and languages. Part of Zameer’s job is of course, speaking at various conferences and he chats to us about how he’s evolved as a speaker since first starting out, and gives us his best advice for both new and experienced speakers.

Katie has spent a great deal of time across a huge variety of roles in the DevRel space, and after years of working for big companies, she’s now enjoying her time doing advising and mentoring as well as being an ambassador for the Developer Marketing Alliance, and a member of the steering committee for the new DevRel Foundation. Katie talks with us about how DevRel might be in its teenage years. Think about it - wanting respect, craving independence, all the hallmarks are there! And while there’s a degree of frustration there, there’s also a wonderful opportunity to determine where we want to go next. We touch on AI, events, onboarding and more, so be sure to listen to get Katie’s thoughts!

John Gilhuly is the chief developer advocate at Arize.com, an AI observability monitoring platform, and he joins us for a great discussion on the rapidly evolving AI space, and what that means for a company built to work with LLM applications. He talks to us about Arize’s new open source product, ‘Phoenix” - the Garageband to their Logic, and how the inspiration for building it came from how much the team feels they owe to the wider open source community. As much as it is a chance for them to build their own community, that element comes second to their desire to simply give back to people. We of course, get to talking about the classic DevRel questions, proving value and defining your role. With a background in sales and solution engineering, John points out to us that in sales, your work is handed to you, whereas a DevRel must create and build their work from the ground up, creating something from nothing. Perhaps this is why it’s so often described by our guests as an incredibly creative job in a technical world?
