The thing that people get fired up about is like mentoring, right? And going and helping other people get into this space. For me personally, it's almost like meta-level DevRel for me. Like you really have to understand and care about other people's problems because a lot of the time they like supersede your own. It's almost like a side effect of all of the work you're doing.
