What do you actually do, though? It seems like people in devrel talk about devrel in broad terms, but after a couple of years of it being a buzzword I still have no clue what it is. The closest I think I've come is "sometimes say nice things about other developers".

Other than that it's all a bit like the rules of Fight Club.

It depends, but for me I create a lot of example projects & reference architectures & open source them, create videos, write blogs, speak at conferences & have meetings with developers using the services & tools that my team builds.

To do what, though? I mean, I have meetings with developers all the time. We create example projects as part of development work all the time. I don't write blogs, but I know other developers who do. Same with conferences. I'm missing something here!
