From Marketing to Dev Tools: My Journey Into the Builder Space

Hi everyone 👋

I’m Dylan Ashford, and this is my first post here on DEV.

A little about me:

  • I work in marketing, but I’ve always been drawn to developer tools and open source projects.
  • Recently, I’ve been exploring the intersection of tech + community building, especially how devs discover and adopt new tools.
  • I’m curious about AI SDKs, open source ecosystems, and go-to-market strategy for products that developers actually love to use.

What I’m hoping to do here:

  • Share notes from my learning journey.
  • Post about dev-focused marketing (without the buzzwords).
  • Highlight cool projects and communities I come across.

I’d love to connect with others who are also working on or interested in building at the intersection of engineering and growth.

If you’ve made a similar transition (marketing ↔ dev), I’d love to hear your story too.
