John McBride on Mythryl: “Required reading. Seeing the way DevRel has twisted into this…”

Required reading. Seeing the way DevRel has twisted into this grotesque form of marketing and conference-led-sales is really sad. I would argue that DevRel, maybe now more than ever, is incredibly important. We (developers) are an especially capricious bunch: we must be shown the way.

Hi, friends. The last 6 years have been a blast, but I just don't like being on The Internet anymore. I'm leaving DevRel, and I wrote a little bit about why. Look after yourselves, and each other. Love, Salma

whitep4nth3r.comGoodbye, forever, probably.I’m leaving developer relations and developer education. Rather than disappear completely unannounced, I wanted to tell you why.
