> Just like influencers in any other field, developer-influencers often describe a reality that is aspirational even for their own companies. It may be true that people writing about ideal processes live in an idealized situation where it’s possible, in which case they’re the exception that provides the rule. But most of the time — even if it’s true in one part of an organization or at one moment in time — this reality does not hold across their entire company and forever more.
BINGO! This really resonated with me. It's a good reminder that developer social media is going to have some of the same things going on as regular social media, like unrealistic comparisons to idealised snapshots.
