Sébastien Blanc

Today, we’re speaking to someone who’s been doing DevRel since before DevRel was a term anyone knew. Sébastien Blanc is the Developer Relation Engineer at Port IO, an internal developer portal that gives developers the opportunity to do all their engineering in one place.

Phil Leggetter

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.

Kevlin Henney

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.

Zameer Fouzan

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.

Jim Bennett
