I lead developer advocacy at Global Payments, where I build developer-experience infrastructure at enterprise scale. That work is the payment APIs, SDKs, and documentation engineers actually reach for. I write here about developer platforms, payments, and AI-assisted engineering.
I also run a small web presence practice for local business owners, covering website build, AEO, and ongoing management.

AI can write a flawless tutorial, but it can't fake a dead end. That's why witnessed practice (watching a competent person work through real uncertainty) is the DevRel format AI can't replicate, and corporate DevRel is barely making any of it.

AI already handles the first 75% of developer education. What's left for DevRel is judgment, the architecture calls, tradeoffs, and product edges a model can't reliably infer from the docs.

I audited Stripe, Clerk, and Neon's docs in May 2026 for whether AI assistants can find and cite them, and found the best sites in developer tools were only two layers into a six-layer AEO stack. A re-audit in August 2026 found them at roughly five of six. Updated with what changed, and what it says about who owns the work.
