A technical writer needs you to provide content. DevRel would come up with the content on their own and do everything else to get the word everywhere. We also do everything else in between (speaking, social, community etc.).

I usually say we spread awareness and technical information.

Agreed. But DevRel seems more like the name of the field or department, right? What's a good job title for someone that creates the content on their own and also everything else in between to get the word out?

Developer Advocate, no?

Ideally yes I'd like to use that. But often when introducing myself as a developer advocate, people are like "what the heck is that" 😆.

So i was thinking whether there is a next best way to describe what we do. "Software engineer & Content developer", perhaps? Or is there a better way?

I say "I'm a social influencer for software developers" ;-)
