Thanks for writing this. I'm trying to get the role of Developer Advocate established at my company today. I'm wondering if you can say more about how to track the effectiveness or convince the business of the value of the role.

thats an interesting one: i guess the main metrics are/should be around engagement. Developers usually prefer to talk to other developers instead of more traditional roles like CSMs and other marketing/business folks. So i guess the main argument for hiring one is that a developer advocate is the only way that you can actually listen to and engage with the (dev) community.
