Did we get ahead of ourselves by focusing purely on Generative AI before perfecting the robust data fundamentals that the best AI workloads are built on? 🤔

My keynote from @allthingsopen "AI Should Not Replace Well-Built Data Fundamentals," argues that true AI innovation comes from workloads built ON TOP of strong data fundamentals, not in place of them.

I dive into how you can use AI tools (like #GeminiCLI) alongside foundational #OpenSource tools (like ASF's #Iceberg) to establish the essential scalability, flexibility, and interoperability required for modern, large-scale AI success.

You can't have an effective AI strategy without a well-built data strategy.

This writeup by @pedramnavid.com is easily one of my favourite texts on DevRel (and the mythological reference didn't go unnoticed) Central argument: DevRel is just Marketing, for developers, with a feedback loop to the product. Do you agree? #devrel #developerrelations

As of January, I was effectively laid off from my loved Developer Advocate job.

If anyone needs a Swiss army knife with excellent soft skills that work well in a team. That's me.

I would prefer Softwarearchitecture and DevRel again. Everything where I get to work with people would be nice.

If anyone can point me to something or could make an introduction, I would be deeply grateful!

Location: Remote, hybrid (Würzburg and/or train reachable)

A magia das comunidades de tecnologia está além das conexões que criamos nelas! ✨

Refletindo sobre minha jornada em Developer Relations, percebo que cada conversa, cada evento e cada conteúdo é como uma semente que fortalece os laços entre pessoas desenvolvedoras e empresas.

Um dos maiores aprendizados foi entender que comunidades não são apenas sobre networking, mas sobre apoio mútuo e crescimento coletivo. 💙

E além disso, comunidades de tecnologia refletem nas empresas o que elas mais precisam: reconhecimento da marca, educação sobre como utilizar suas tecnologias e também feedback e insights únicos para um produto.

Vamos trocar experiências nos comentários!

What is #DevRel, anyway, and what benefits does it bring your company? This is an interesting write-up for reference that discusses the "Developer Funnel" strategy. "This framework helps you understand and engage dev communities effectively." https://buff.ly/3CHfgha

Summarizing the key points from the article: #DeveloperRelations teams can help you with...
- Acquiring developers
- Developer onboarding and engagement
- Advocacy within the community
- Retaining developers

Great read for #DeveloperRelations. Understand how to:
> Accelerate product-market fit with tight product loops
> Get developers to the “aha” moment in your product & product #marketing can help
> Identify the “aha” moment for your early users
> Build an incredible dev experience, from docs, to #code samples, to product onboarding
> Avoid being “everywhere, all the time” as a young company
> Leverage #OpenSource to drive growth and simultaneously build a #community
