What is "evangelist"? I see this term often, but don't really understand it.
- tylerpachal 11y agoI think it is better known as "Developer Evangelist" or "Developer Relations".
- avodonosov 11y agoYes. But what exactly does it mean? I thought maybe it is "very qualified developer" but I read comments here, and doubts grow, maybe I understood it wrong.
- avodonosov 11y agoOK, i searched the internet, and found explanations.
- 59nadir 11y agoIt's just someone who sells a concept or technology to companies, really. Knowing how it works is a plus, but it's not like there haven't been very prominent tech evangelists who knew next to nothing about tech. If you can explain what people gain from using the tech in a good enough way you're pretty much done.
- avodonosov 11y agoYes. This reminds me of the Alan Perlis: "Above all, I hope we don't become missionaries. Don't feel as if you're Bible salesmen. The world has too many of those already."
- shard 11y agoSo the evangelist would be in the marketing department?
