Very cool!
I love how the experiences we have can be so radically different and lead to similar places.
Most people just ask me: "What the hell is a developer advocate? What do you do?". I think my journey is a bit too intimidating for most developers so they feel they can't pick up this field. Bookmarked your post as it seems like a more friendly/accessible introduction.
Yay, I'm glad that it's a friendly introduction, and it is crazy how all these different paths can lead to developer advocacy. It's extremely hard to help people get into this role, so this blog post was the best I could do. Hopefully, in the future, I'll have better advice.
It's already great!
great

Amazing, I can connect with you. I got hired as a developer advocate at Harness last year in December and it's a fun space to be. Helping developers and customers pick the best solutions and helping them solve their problems make me feel good about what I am doing.
I would love to connect with you!! It is such a fun space.
Nice post! It takes time and perseverance. Stuff won't happen overnight.
Yeah, sometimes for some people it happens overnight, but for my life -- I've had to work hard at it.
I love your post!
I really appreciate reading about your journey and getting advice. You have a lot of great knowledge and insight in the Dev Relations realm. I'm a new Developer grad and Developer Advocacy really appeals to me. I worked in customer service before graduating and the idea of using that experience with my new coding skills in a new career is really appealing.
Do you have any advice on how to find a knowledgable Developer Advocate that would mentor a newbie?
Hi, love this post, full of experiences, what a journey!
By the way, mergify.com, the most powerful merge queue for GitHub (offering speculative checks, batch merges, and multiple queueing options) is looking for a new developer advocate!
Contact me hugo.escafit@mergify.com if you are interested! :)
Thank you for sharing your path, Rizèl - so inspiring!
Not an easy trajectory - hats off for keeping your head down and seeing it through ... you've certainly put in the work, to use an understatement!
Inspiring.#Do not sell yourself short. Thank you for this amazing article. Developer advocate has always been my dream job
