There’s an important balance here, because DevRel requires you to know a fair amount of information about a lot of different topics. In the realm of T-shaped skills17 DevRel teams are often far stronger on the horizontal bar (collaboration with other areas) than they are on the vertical (depth in any one skill). In other words, you have a broad frame of reference that expands into many different topics and departments, but you don’t spend enough time in any one topic area to grow into a specific vertical.
