all things devrel w/rizel scarlett, dev advocate at github
guest: rizel scarlett, developer advocate at github
- devrel sits between the company and developers, showing how to use a product while bringing community feedback back to the product team
- developers trust real demos and live coding more than marketing claims, so show the product in action instead of just promoting it
- if you want to break into devrel, look for junior developer advocate roles and communities like devrel-focused discords or newsletters that post openings
- building in public, even posting basic learning notes like how you made a button in html, helps hiring managers see you understand the process
- think of brand as your online reputation, built by consistently sharing what you are learning rather than waiting until you feel like an expert
