DevRel Nuggets From Around The Internet
A lot of times, people classify technical writing as one of the less technical roles where coding is not important or necessary. Mslinda has something contrary to say about this and she thinks learning the basics of software development is key especially if you want to write developer-focused content.
A great community manager builds a strong community, which leads to a loyal customer base. Don't hire just based on someone saying they can manage communities.
DevRel professionals build relationships with developers and help them to understand and use the company's products and services. This can lead to increased adoption and usage, which can drive revenue growth. It combines engineering and marketing budgets into one, offering a dual benefit.
