- get into tech by showing up at meetups even before you have a job title, it signals initiative more than a resume line
- build community by doing the work before you have the title, like moderating a discord or answering questions for free
- giving back without expecting anything in return, like sharing links or translating content, can open doors you never planned on
- devrel is shifting from chasing big numbers like conference attendance to bringing back real product feedback from users
- bond with people over shared interests outside of tech like sports or hobbies, those connections often turn into career opportunities
