New ask Hacker News story: We shouldn't trust developer advocates
We shouldn't trust developer advocates
2 by SoftwareDev5 | 2 comments on Hacker News.
I truly don't understand why people have a cult following for developer advocates. You shouldn't trust or use a product because a influencer who is getting paid by the company is telling you to. Developer advocates are literally wolves in sheep's clothing. Yes they are developers. Yes they are experienced with the product. But I'm pretty sure anyone would advocate for anything if they were getting paid 220K+ for it. I'm not saying all developer advocates are bad or untrustworthy. But a majority of them are just highly paid individuals who are paid to generate sales.
