What a Developer Advocate does
Developer advocates help outside software developers succeed with a company's platform, API or tools, and bring what those developers say back to the product team. They teach through talks, tutorials, sample code and video, and spend time where developers gather. The role sits between engineering and marketing and depends on real technical credibility.
