A talk at Trajectory Labs mapped the camps of AI safety. All of them assume AI isn't there yet. I'm not convinced, and I don't think a superintelligence is needed for things to go badly wrong.
Marketing scales close to infinitely. Relationships don't, and the arithmetic of why is what decides how many people your DevRel team actually needs.
Active communities run a lot of events, so people assume running events creates communities. That's cause and effect backwards, and it's why so many 'communities' dry up the moment the budget stops.
DevRel isn't really about selling anything - it's about building a whole ecosystem so big that we can barely measure its growth because a rising tide lifts all boats.
