Jeremy is the Director of DevRel & Community at CircleCI, formerly at Solace, Auth0, and XDA. With over 27 years in Tech, covering just about every functional area including Support, SysAdmin, Application Developer, Program Manager, and Business Analyst, Jeremy is active in the DevRel and DevOps communities, and is a co-creator of DevOpsPartyGames.com. A lover of all things coffee, community, open source, and tech, he's a husband and father, and is also house-broken, and (generally) plays well with others.
Developer Relations has been around in one form or another for the last 20+ years, and yet not a Martian sol goes by without some bickering about which department DevRel should be in, or what they should do, or what the most important thing is, or what vegetable is the ideal mascot (broccoli ofc). DevRel needs to borrow a page from DevOps, and recognize that “it depends.”
In this talk, Jeremy will meet these arguments head on, and seek to give us a way forward, in an effort to help DevRel grow the f*#k up.
