Back in August, I appeared on the Voxgig podcast to discuss the nature of DevRel as a practice, and the skills involved, how a great deal of DevRel has crossover with other fields. This is something that appears to be inspiring not just just DevRels themselves, but employers in other fields, and we chatted about what this means for  people who may be considering making this leap.

We also discussed the influence of LLMs on technical writing, and the pitfalls of worshipping the ground they walk on. Many people are eager to make the leap to fully AI-produced content. This might work for now (though not to a degree of high quality) – but what happens when all those writers have transitioned into their new ChatGPT consultant roles? The work they would have otherwise been producing no longer exists – and the LLMs don’t have anything new to train on, resulting in their redundancy as a tool of “efficiency”.

We discuss all this and more in the episode!
