Great post! I started in DevRel ~ 1.5 years ago. This post is very accurate, especially around sharing community feedback!
Like you mentioned, I have noticed some "Developer Experience" teams (often in the enterprise) focus on supporting their internal dev teams instead of the outside world.
A lot of the activities are similar (demos, office hours, gather feedback) but focused on an internal community instead of an external. Do you find yourself doing both in your role?
Yes! How I usually try to frame things for myself and my team currently is that anything we do internally we should approach with the idea we will take it external in some capacity.
Sometimes the internal enablement piece is a critical component of "winning" priority or helping the company understand the business reason or value.

That's really helpful!
