I spoke to 10 developer advocates recently to gather info on how to break into the DevRel industry. Here are the top 10 points from our conversations: 1. Start Now: Don't wait for a DevRel role to begin creating content and doing talks. Your web development career can be a stepping stone to DevRel, so use your experiences to create content that showcases your skills. 2. Be Intentional: When solving problems, think about how you can turn that into content. Time is your currency, so decide how much effort a piece of content is worth and choose the right platform to share it. 3. Update Your Public Profile: Ensure your public profile reflects your latest work. Share your content where it's easily accessible to recruiters and hiring managers to demonstrate your teaching and technical skills. 4. Learn from Others: Look into resources like Chris Heilmann's Developer Advocacy Handbook and Mary Thengvall's Business Value of Developer Relations to understand what the job entails beyond content and conferences. 5. Network and Build in Public: Engage with developer communities and build your presence by blogging and participating in public forums. Networking is key in this industry. 6. Understand the Business Side: Delve into how DevRel works within a business context. It's not just about advocacy; it's also about aligning with business goals. 7. Be Passionate: Passion is crucial in DevRel. It's a lot of effort, and without genuine enthusiasm for teaching and advocating, it's tough to sustain. 8. Consider Company Size: DevRel roles can vary significantly between companies. In larger companies, you might focus on a niche like documentation, while in startups, you might wear multiple hats. 9. Assess Company Expectations: When interviewing, try to understand why a company wants to add DevRel and what their vision is. This will help you gauge if they value the role and if it's a good fit for you. 10. Be Cautious of Market Conditions: The tech industry is facing layoffs, and DevRel roles are often impacted. If you have a stable role in web development, weigh your options carefully before transitioning. These conversations have been enlightening. If you're considering a move into developer advocacy, I hope these points help you as much as they've helped me!

Which industries took the brunt of the #techlayoffs and which verticals fared surprisingly well? Good overview:

I wish I had a guide when I started contributing to Open-source so I made one for you. 😊 How to get started in Open-source https://lnkd.in/dGMrNaB2 #opensource #GitHub

You should give your team the freedom to say, "This is bad. We need to start over." It's tempting to just push and push and push. It's tempting to ship things when they're still half-baked. I'd even go so far as to say that's what you should do most of the time. But if you want to have a team that takes pride in their work, you need to let them kill something and start over every once in a while. Not for everything. Just for the things that have to be right. The advanced search feature the team built for ATS is coming. It's awesome. The team is very proud. P.S. Why not grab a demo with us? https://lnkd.in/gwf7eceE #software #dev

Web Summit challenged me to present a controversial topic to the management community: Technical CEOs vs. Bozo Managers. As I dove into the data to support my argument that management is often overrated, I found that the real power in companies lies with those who excel at getting things done: 1. Often promoted-from-within managers 2. With the individual contributor spirit still on 3. Operating at all levels! It was fascinating to see how this pattern contradicts what consulting firms and paid research tell us. When we look at the messages sent by tech layoffs, such as Brex, we see a different reality. What are your thoughts on this? Do you believe that management is overrated? Let's discuss in the comments. #TechnicalCEOs #ManagementDebate #TechLayoffs (Link of the Video in the comments 📹)

Getting in "Flow-State" is a recruiter super power. But studies have shown that if you are flipping from one platform to the next it takes 10 min or more to get back into flow every time you switch. Thats why having tools that allow you to quickly context switch within the same platform is crucial. This is one of the reasons why I'm in love with Recruiterflow. Check out how quickly I can go from search to BD all in the same platform.
