Well, not exactly 😄Dev advocates are more of salesman persons than developers, at least I got that impression. I don't have a good example, but what came up to my mind at first is Peggy Rayzis from the Apollo graphql, if I understood correctly her main job is to go from conference to conference and talk about Apollo. She does have some knowledge about programming, but she doesn't actively contribute to Apollo development. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I guess this really is one of those roles where you can't pin and say this is what they do. It really does differ from company to company and person to person. I wonder how they measure their growth.
