Episode 242 Juan Cruz Viotti, Founder of Source Meta
Today, we’re sitting down for an in-depth technical discussion with Juan Cruz Viotti, the Founder of Sourcemeta, a top provider of JSON Schema tooling and services. Juan has been working in the space for a long time, so we’re delighted to be getting his insight into this field.
A lot of people have a love/hate relationship with JSON Schema, and much of that originates from the fact that, despite what people may think, it is a constraint language, not a modelling one. Juan explains to us that one of the reasons people can find it so painful is that the language is extremely powerful and expressive. Through his work, he is determined to help people learn and get to grips with it, so it doesn’t seem so intimidating.
Finally, he tells us about what Sourcemeta is currently working on, and how they are continuing to evangelise and promote JSON Schema. They are diving head first into the conference space, and will soon have a desktop app to further aid people in their understanding of the language and how it works.

Episode 241 Alex Rattray, Founder of Stainless
Today we’re sitting down for a chat with Alex Rattray, founder of Stainless, to talk about what they do, and how AI could be shaking up the SDK space in a big way.
Stainless is an SDK generator that helps create high quality SDKs for rest APIs. Alex’s reason for starting the company is simple. He wanted to serve developers in a million different ways. That could be why the Stainless website homepage features a wall of code - they know who their audience is.
With every programming language carrying its own nuances, SDK generation can be a mammoth task, especially developing them to the standard that Stainless holds itself to.
It was a pleasure speaking to Alex, not least because it’s so clear that, for him, the value of developer experience comes first and foremost.

Episode 240 Courtney Yatteau and Raúl Jiménez Ortega, Developer Experience Team at Esri
Today, we have a very wonderful unreleased episode from last year. It’s a dynamic duo on the pod today, as we’re joined by Raúl Jiménez Ortega and Courtney Yatteau from the Developer Experience Team at Esri.
We talk about the experience of DevRel in a large organisation, and how internal DevRel compares to external. When you grow to a certain size, the question broadens from ‘how do I engage new people?’ to ‘how do I engage my own people?’
Esri is a leading geospatial tech company helping big and small organisations to make the most out of their data. Courtney compares for us the practice of teaching in a classroom vs teaching developers. Raúl takes us through his DevRel journey and the current role he plays on Esri’s Developer Experience Team.
It was such a delight to have Courtney and Raúl on the podcast, and we hope you enjoy listening!

Episode 239 Abhishek Mishra, DevRel Engineer at Tune AI
Today we’re speaking to the wonderful Abhishek Mishra of Tune AI, a Gen AI stack, that focuses on fine-tuning and deploying generative AI models. With two products under their belt, they’ve had their hands full and Abhishek joins us to tell us all about it.
In this episode we discuss the topic of playgrounds, and the vital role they play. Something not always considered, is that not everyone has the capability to test if an LLM will work for them or their product, so playgrounds that allow for experimentation are essential for reaching those people.
We also get onto the topic of DevRel backgrounds, and how Abhishek believes every DevRel should work as a developer, not just to know the pain points, but to have a fully rounded understanding of how to advocate for them.

Episode 238 Trey Botard, Head of Developer Relations at Atomic
Trey Botard joins the ranks of our guests with an unconventional entry into DevRel. He’s the Head of Developer Relations at Atomic, a digital financial connectivity platform that manages online payroll transactions. His origin story begins with wine, and helping a team of waiters understand how to sell it to customers. Sounds like a familiar setup…
With this background, and an interest in tech, it’s not surprising that Trey found his way to DevRel. The importance of making customers feel special and heard is something he emphasises, as well as building trust by not just telling, but showing.
As are many people, Trey is stuck in an ever growing pile of Slack channels. So of course, this has inspired his current desire to find a better way to manage information distribution in a way that is efficient but not overbearing. We’re very excited to hear his update on this in a few years, but for now, you’ll have to enjoy hearing about all the other great work he’s doing!
