Why Great Developer Relations Don't Happen by Accident

The DevRel teams that actually work — the ones with thriving communities, real developer trust, and a seat at the product table — aren't winging it. They're executing a strategy, even if they've never written it down. This talk introduces the pattern language behind that strategy: 37 named DevRel activities, each with a documented structure borrowed from the software design patterns tradition, that give teams a shared vocabulary for doing the work with intention and consistency. If you've ever wondered what DevRel teams actually do all day — or whether you might want to be one — this talk is for you.
