Devrel where you spend your time being a public speaker more than a technical professional, talking about code that you've never run in production?

- nunez 3y agoNot nearly as fun or easy as it looks Also, you underestimate how difficult it is to get technical people to talk about tech to multiple audiences, including non-tech people. Also also, many of the good devrel folks in the industry _do_ have code in production; they just wanted something different than doing engineering day in day out. (Think of the person doing devrel at Tailscale, for example; they are very technical). It's not a trophy job; it's just more extroverted and people-facing.
