Being a Developer Advocate
X
Hey, I am Jay - that's Rico
@jaydestro on twitter.…
I was a SysAdmin for a long time.
I was on-call for about 10 years
And I dealt with burnout.
X
Career change can be scary!
X
Time to move in a new direction
X
What do I
want to do?
Do I want a
new job?
Do I just need
a new role?
Is the role
available
where I work?
What about $ALE$?
X
What about Support?
X
OK, so what was the next step?
X
I started listening and watching...
X
DEVELOPER ADVOCACY
X
• Working with peers.
• Content to help them teach others.
• People will want to help you.
• Be part of the story of your engineering team by
helping them tell it.
Learn and break for fun and profit
X
Using skills learned over time...
X
New skills, community building
X
Analogy time folks.
X
Fandom… Begat Advocacy.
X
And that went IRL
X
The fans left their homes...
X
X
Kinda like tech conferences...
X
Tools and info is the sauce?
X
It's a cool job, consider it!
