Squarespace is, I’m pretty sure they’re doing great. Well, it’s valid depending on what you’re trying to build. Is that approach to content management still a valid thing in 2023, do you think?Īlvin: I think it’s valid. So it’d be taking content and taking templates and merging all that together to create HTML pages essentially. All the CMS solutions that I’ve developed have followed this traditional model of the CMS being the entire platform that delivered your website. Just to give a bit of background on me in this context, I’ve got a lot of history with the content management space from years of building bespoke systems for clients and then distilling all that experience down into a CMS product, which I founded in 2009 and then sold in 2021. It varies, and this could be a podcast episode on its own.ĭrew: It could be, couldn’t it? What is developer relations? Is it a function of sales? Is it a function of marketing? Is it support? What is it?ĭrew: So yes, that’s a whole can of worms. At least this is how we approach DEVREL at Contentful. I’m not here to sell you anything, I’m here to help developers, whatever that looks like.
I think that’s the difference between a developer advocate and a salesman. So I just wanted to reassure the audience at this point that this is not that, rather it’s the fact that your work leads you to have some really great upstate knowledge of the space and that’s why you’re the perfect guest for this episode.
I just - before we start - want to address the elephant in the room and that you’re a developer advocate for Contentful, and I know we have a really savvy audience here at Smashing, and they’d see right through anything that was a thinly veiled ad for your employer. We’re all using them, but I think sometimes the discussion isn’t there about it when it’s so important. I wanted to talk to you today about one of the key technologies that’s really at the center of so many projects, but perhaps these days doesn’t get the spotlight shone on it so often because maybe it’s not so glamorous as front-end frameworks or any of these other things. It’s an honor.ĭrew: Thanks for joining us. Hi Alvin, how are you?Īlvin: I’m smashing, thank you so much for having me here. So we know he’s an experienced developer, but did you know he once taught Catherine Zeta Jones to do a cartwheel? My Smashing friends, please welcome Alvin Brian. And these days, he’s learning a lot about DEVREL and loving it. He’s very UX driven and happiest when collaborating with designers and pushing boundaries as a team. Before that, he used to be a lead engineer for Dow Jones in the Wall Street Journal and has had various front end roles.
