Very much agreed!!!

Metrics are my main source of pain. Trying to communicate the value of the work, but also to evaluate it for my own sake. It's frustrating.

I hope DevRel continues to evolve and we learn better ways to measure our impact!

Absolutely. I'm with you on this, and I'm lucky to work with some folks who are much better at finding ways to define our work in ways that are key in terms of driving understanding of the value it brings. I'm not a great lover of the metrics myself, I'll openly admit.
