@vasilika I hope you enjoy it here, there are plenty of folks to follow - you can also follow hashtags, which is great for things like #DevRel or #frontend etc

@thunderbird @linuxflower Welcome to the team. Nice to meet another #DevRel pro on here!

“The average lifespan of someone in #DevRel is 2-2.5 years…” says PJ Hagerty 😬 #DevRelCon

Back-to-back adventures! I just returned from my first trip to Alaska 🤩 Sunday I board a plane to start my new #DevRel adventure 🥳 I can hardly wait to share what’s next!

Rich Millington pointing out the proliferation of online spaces for conversations, private and public, many of which we don’t control “we can fight against that if we want, or we can encourage and accept it” #DevRelCon - my take - the role of #DevRel is to go to where the communities are and the conversations happen; and then listen, engage, empathise, support and learn.

Do you host a podcast? Is Buzzsprout your hosting provider? In this short video I show you how to dashboard your podcast analytics in SquaredUp using the Web API plugin.

I really like the collectible card game-styled cards for different #DevRel personas from Common Room, one of the sponsors at #DevRelCon

The absolutely wonderful @wesley83 keynoting at #DevRelCon, reminding us what the core values of #DevRel are. A very personal and heartfelt talk, and one that's really hitting home for me today. Thank you, Wesley.

(p.s. he's also pretty good at bowling!)

YES THIS!!!! #DevRel

The most valuable interactions as a Developer Advocate were not at conferences.

The most useful interactions were on twitter and slack forums and similar, answering the questions for people *then* writing content about their issues.

"Why I left DevRel" — great rant by @endingwithali.

She makes some excellent points, and while not all of them align with my own experience, it's great to see someone starting this discussion, and doing it so well. While I love working in #devrel, the uncertainty of what it means in the first place really makes it feel like a lottery finding an employer whose ideas on that align with yours. And the "influencer" tendencies seen in some places always felt alien to me.

I’ve come to consider myself a “Professional Generalist”, and this piece perfectly encapsulates why #DevRel and I were made for each other. 💖 https://macaw.social/@andypiper/110978683498166247

Just discovered this piece by @mheap via a #DevRel newsletter, and it's a great way to think about the multitude of skills and opportunities that we get to practice in these roles. 👏🏻 https://michaelheap.com/spider-shaped-devrel/

This effort to measure things without discrete output units is counter-productive. Latest is the McKinsey effort to measure developer productivity.

Producing light bulbs, hitting a sales target, or recruiting the required number of heads are all focused on a discrete unit.

This not the case with #devrel, #engineer, #marketing, #design, and #productmanagement

Here's the thing:

It's time we start treating DevRel as a core skill for engineers. I've been lucky to learn alongside some of the best - shout out to the inimitable CJ Avilla for the inspiration on this one.
