Episode 236: Astro 2.5 with Alvin Bryan

So, you're a developer, but you feel you need a change of role, but not industry. Well you've come to the right podcast today! In this episode we talk to Alvin Bryan, Developer Advocate at Contentful and a coach at Codebar, a really interesting initiative to help people learning to code and starting out in various languages. Alvin generously and openly walks us through how he moved from being a frontend developer to his current role. We talk about when organisations just don't get the value of developer community building and supporting meetups, something he and Contentful very much have in their plans! Listen to hear about the 3 Cs of DevRel, and a little frustration at our own industry for our perhaps lack of attention to details when it comes to SDKs.
