Listen Later

In this episode of Breaktime Tech Talks, I share an inside look into developer advocacy, discuss the highs and lows of the role, and review new features in the Cypher query language.

Highlights:

  • 🔎What it’s really like to be a developer advocate: the good, the bad, and the “meh”
  • 🧗🏼‍♀️Common challenges: overwhelm, travel fatigue, balancing diverse responsibilities, and learning to say “no”
  • 🏢Why developer advocacy is often a “departmental orphan” and how that brings unique value
  • 🏆The rewarding aspects: variety, constant learning, connecting with the developer community, playing to your strengths, and prioritizing high-impact work
  • 👩🏽‍💻Updates on Jennifer’s current projects, including work on Spring AI Advisors and an upcoming conference appearance
  • ⚙️A deep dive into Christoffer Bergman’s blog post on Cypher Conditional Queries
  •  🎊What’s new in Cypher 25: the WHEN THEN ELSE syntax and how it improves query readability and maintenance

    • Every tech role has its ups and downs, but I've found my place. Don’t miss my insights on Cypher’s latest features and stay tuned for more updates on my projects and events. Thanks for listening, and happy coding!
