Probably the best thing you'll see today.

If you're a content creator, your goal is to create content that resonates with your audience.
• Understand their needs & wants
• Show them how to solve their problems
• Illustrate what happens when they do
It's not hard, as long as you don't overthink it.

If you use React, you should be using a React framework. If your existing app doesn't use a framework, you should incrementally migrate to one. If you're creating a new React project, you should use a framework from the beginning.

The 2 biggest mistakes I've seen companies make when hiring:
1. Having no plan & expecting their DevRel to do videos, blog posts, podcasts, manage a community, speak at conferences, organize meetups, give feedback on the product, iterate on docs, & work on code examples.

Examples:
◆ Tailwind (play.tailwindcss.com/)
◆ GraphiQL (e.g.: graphql.github.com)
◆ TypeScript (typescriptlang.org/play)
◆ Rust play.rust-lang.org/

1) Create a new property with the Rollup type

3) Click the Rollup property's name at the top of the database and edit to show as a bar!
ALT This tasks database in Notion shows how to configure a Rollup to display progress bars.

Just recorded my theory of "Crossing the Developer Chasm" with @jacksbridger for the @ScalingDevTools podcast (feed podcast.bitreach.io/)
"Early majority" vs "Late majority" terminology is 60 years old and isn't helpful for devtools startups.
My take (tbc on @DXTipsHQ):

I will note that providing support is HARD and time-consuming. There's a reason I haven't made a YouTube video in over a month.
I'm now growing a support team so I can get back to content.
But it's also valuable. Doing support forces you to become a true expert on your product.
