Developer Relations or DevRel is a fast growing role that helps companies establish relationship and engage with external developers. This was the first DevRel conference in Asia.
Re:Ask HN: Good resources on learning how to write on Tuesday October 27, 2020 @09:21PM (#24913964)
For technical content writing, here's a collection of some good articles - https://weavrboards.com/devrel/board/developing-content-for-...

In general, for me a good approach has been with this '3S framework':

  1. Support - Write content that educates or supports in a timely fashion
  2. Sources - Parse through the discussions in domain specific sources (forums and communities) to get a pulse of what to write 
  3. Segmentation - Finalize on the stage of the user/developer journey (beginner, intermediate or an expert)
These are aggregated insights from tech sources - Github, Stackoverflow, hackernews, reddit, forums, blogs and niche developer/tech communities.

Congrats! Look forward to trying it out.
My "Never again" business/ people lesson is to avoid anyone with toxic nature be a part of a startup team, howsoever genius that person might be. Once bitten, twice shy about this.

For a Startup, destination obviously matters, but making the journey enjoyable should be one of the top priorities.
