I agree to some extent but large companies do staff roles that have public outreach as part of their job description. Suggesting that no one is able to say "there is an internal ticket for this" is not the full answer.
- phendrenad2 4y agoReally? I've never seen anyone at Google or Apple who's in a "staff role with public outreach as part of their job". I don't think any big tech companies have those.
- arriu 4y agoThey do, and Google does. Job descriptions are usually something like: "As a Technical Evangelist, you will be the face of the platform and often the first contact our customers have with us, both online and in person." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_evangelist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_evangelist
- htrp 4y agoDo tech evangelist roles really have the power to send things back to the product teams? They always seemed more like platform adoption/marketing people.
- phendrenad2 4y agoThat's... not what technology evangelists do. Tech evangelists are the public face of a specific, often open-source, product/project. There are no tech evangelists for "all of Google". These are narrowly-defined roles, and they aren't empowered to be the public face of the company outside of that area.
