Description
The DevEx function exists to provide leverage to the Product function.
Meaning:
-
Provide operations bandwidth for Product Managers.
The goal is to help implement an amazing product:
- Live with the community: contribute to better tuning the product to the users based on their feedback. e.g., engage in technical questions on Stack Overflow, engage in product questions on Reddit.
- Live in the shoes of users: raise the quality bar of the product by providing critical feedback on product changes. e.g., dogfooding the product.
- Educate users on the product. e.g., creating docs for AI agents so humans can ask LLMs questions.
-
Provide GTM bandwidth to Product Managers for the open-source/IC audience.
The goal is to connect the work the product team does to the satellite product functions:
- Marketing: create awareness of the product, e.g., awareness of the success story.
- Sales: demonstrate why our product is the best solution to the person’s problem. e.g., build performance benchmarks, gather impactful showcases.
- Support: solve one-off direct pains people struggle with.
- Customer Success: solve users’ problems holistically.
