What do people who have Developer Relations as their job description do? And how do you become a conference speaker? You’ll learn in this Foojay podcast!
At Devoxx in Belgium, I got to talk to Josh Long, Baruch, Pratik Patel, and Roni Dover, who were on the stage because it was part of their job. They shared many tips about being a DevRel and the many tasks involved in such a job.
I also talked with Clo Willaerts, who inspired me many years ago to become a speaker myself when I saw her presentation at a marketing conference.
