- wanting more money or a bigger title is fine as long as you want it for yourself, not because someone else has it
- success chased for its own sake can leave you unfulfilled since things like layoffs and market shifts are out of your control
- devrel work is mostly behind the scenes, with stage time and videos making up only a small fraction of the job
- to break into devrel, write blogs, contribute on github, help with docs and issues, and focus on serving the developer community
- you do not need a big twitter following to get into devrel, since other channels and ways of connecting matter just as much
