A few weeks ago, if you'd asked me what "DevRel" stood for, I would've squinted, smiled, and given you a confident-sounding non-answer. Today I'm in a DevRel mentorship program so let me close that knowledge gap for you the way it got closed for me

The "Before": What I Thought DevRel Was

"Oh, so… you relate to developers? Like, customer support for developers?"

Not quite.
