Bridge product & developer community.
2 topics
DevRel bridges the gap between a product and its developer community. Build community through: developer forums/Discord/Slack, meetups and conferences, hackathons, ambassador programs, and open-source contributions. Listen to developer pain points and advocate internally for improvements. Measure: community growth, engagement rates, developer satisfaction (NPS), and contribution to product adoption.

Create content developers love: tutorials, blog posts, videos, conference talks, live streams, and sample applications. Content should solve real problems, not just promote features. Build SDKs, CLI tools, and starter templates that reduce friction. Write docs that developers actually want to read. Video content: screencasts, conference talks, live coding streams on Twitch/YouTube.

Developer Experience (DX) is how it feels to use your platform. Audit: time to first "hello world", documentation quality, error messages, SDK ergonomics, and support responsiveness. Build feedback loops: office hours, surveys, GitHub issues, beta programs, and developer advisory boards. Translate community feedback into actionable product improvements. Metrics: time-to-first-call, documentation bounce rate, support ticket volume, and SDK adoption.
