We sat down with Ojus Save, Developer Relations at Render, fresh off the company's $100M raise at a $1.5B valuation.
Ojus makes the case that the definition of "developer" has fundamentally shifted. You no longer need to be a software engineer to build real applications, which changes everything about how cloud platforms, DevRel teams, and tooling need to work.
Key topics covered:
• Why Render's "fastest path to production" means reducing decisions, not just reducing friction
• How DevRel has evolved from writing docs to touching every function in the company
• Why anyone with internet access and English is now a developer, and what that means for infrastructure
• What developers care most about today: cost predictability, consolidated tooling, and IDE-native interfaces
• Why CLI and MCP are having their moment, and where developer tooling is heading next
