Some people spend their whole lives looking for their “superpower”, but if you’re a DevRel, you’ve probably already found yours. Today we’re speaking to Founder of Draft.dev, Karl Hughes about his path through the startup world, and the ever-changing landscape it operates in.

Draft.dev is a developer focused content agency, and with Karl we learn about the epic highs and lows that he and the company have been through in this industry. Any small business owners or startup founders can relate to the realities of Karl’s journey - one day your cash is flowing, the next it’s a dead stop and only those with true skill and dedication can run a company that successfully traverses both eras.

We discuss the effects that AI is having on DevRel, as well as the return to in-person events. Karl has been the very definition of hands-on with his projects, and it has allowed him to gain an extremely well rounded understanding of the technical aspects of running a company.

Be sure to give it a listen!
