The Importance of Recognizing Dev Rel as a Cost

One of the main hurdles facing dev rel practitioners is the lack of recognition of dev rel as a cost. It is crucial for companies to understand that dev rel requires investment, just like maintenance costs for rail tracks. Although reducing dev rel expenses may bring short-term benefits, it can have negative long-term effects. Therefore, it is important for companies to recognize dev rel as a necessary cost and fully grasp its value.
