海外TECH	DEV Community	🥑 I’m a developcado 🥑	https://dev.to/jennjunod/im-a-developcado-1e79	I m a developcado What is DevRel and what s with the avocados developcado yeah I don t think it ll stick either My first thought when hearing the term DevRel was what is that and do you say it Dev Reel or Dev Ril I m still unsure the exact way to say it I hope that it ll come with time or that I won t get corrected too many times It s a bit embarrassing how bad I can be with names and terminology saying it right Even Vite which is pronounced Veet More detail on that another time The term DevRel refers to Developer Relations also known as Developer Advocate Developer Evangelist or Developer Relationships Many terms fall into the overarching bucket of DevRel My definition is “Creating human connection between a product and developers Which gives a platform to developers to be heard and succeed Each company has its own definition of the role which makes the journey of becoming a DevRel that much more exciting…or frustrating And uhhhh… what about Community Manager is that a part of DevRel too Exactly Taking a step back into my journey to becoming a DevRel will help me explain the resources and research done to make this blog In early I started at a company that helps developers create API Specs easier Over the year there I transitioned from content and communications manager sales enablement manager to learning service manager Six months into working at the company during my time as Sales Enablement Manager I went to a local API Meetup and realized when I was asked about the company I work for I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY DO I was mortified In September I started as the Learning Services Manager The goal was to launch a platform that would teach customers about the product and how to better use the product At this point the company did not have the bare basics of what an API was the pieces of an API and what an API spec was from the company s point of view To create this content I had one on one meetings with many of the developers and engineers to start teaching me the bare basics of what an API was and about how the company specifically fit into the API Lifecycle I learned why form first instead of code first created a better experience for the developer It was an eye opening experience that felt incomplete when I was let go in January During my time as the Learning Services Manager I reached out to the local API Meetup group to see if I can find a mentor or more resources outside my current company That was in November and as I said before by January I no longer needed to know much about APIs One of the co organizers saw something that I didn t APIs are dope that I love humans and co organizing the API Meetup group would be a way to contribute to the local community and expand my knowledge of APIs It was only after the healing process from being let go and the surgery I had end of February that I was open to join as one of the co organizers One of the best decisions in my life Through that one decision I met incredible humans that welcomed me to the community had the opportunity to MC at an apidays conference and found mentorship not only in the API world but also in neurodiversity One of the biggest impacts of rejoining the API community is that I had the opportunity to narrow down what I wanted out of my career and next role to become a DevRel Well my exact response when I was asked was “Absolute dream job would be to have the podcast complement my career in APIs and my career supporting what I do in the podcast and what I hope to achieve by turning that company into a nonprofit One I want to speak about how human connection creates better APIs and vice versa An ideal role would be where I can ask a lot of questions advocate for others and help mediate to find a solution From what I ve seen from DevRel project management and community managers look like awesome jobs I care more about the people I m working with and what I d be doing rather than the job title I would love to find something that would provide support and encouragement to do more things like MCing and speaking … Big items I d be looking for would be flexibility so I can keep up the podcast and mostly remote working I love to travel and have my passport so I can go anywhere when needed It s when I m in the states tho I dig not needing a car and the time it takes to get to work when I work from home It s crazy when your thoughts become reality Ok my thoughts become reality Shortly after figuring this out I started my adventure with Twitter I always knew Twitter was a thing yet I always stayed far away due to not understanding how connected I could feel becoming a part of Tech Twitter Without knowing it a colleague from an old company posted a tweet asking for existing DevRels to post here to allow those looking into DevRel to find resources to reach out to That s where the magic started happening Without realizing Twitter does use the DMs I awkwardly started replying to each person asking the best way to reach out to them Yeah I was that person ‍ ️Thursday was my first meeting with a DevRel From that meeting I learned I could be ADHD and dyslexic and learn to code I also learned that I didn t have the tech or the content to show a track record of why I should be hired as a DevRel By the following Wednesday I spoke to more DevRel humans By that point it was decided that I would start Teach Jenn Tech on July st with Jere Livestreaming is terrifying and exciting That can be its own blog post another day Along the way of finding my way to DevRel I have met some of the most technical people that are still human some of the most relatable humans that are still technical and that human connection truly does make tech work In my own experience two months into starting Teach Jenn Tech I ve found there are so many definitions tips and tricks and incredible humans that can help you along the way to learn more about DevRel world Please remember We are all on our own journey We are all going at our own pace It s about the journey not the destination Here are a few links that I hope you find helpful along your journey Teach Jenn Tech linktr ee teachjenntechWhat s with the Avocado Is from mary grace s book t kXUclIykwEYcRrJQOgStruggles of a DevRel Twitter Space Recording

海外TECH	DEV Community	Rewrite your git history in 4 friendly commands	https://dev.to/whitep4nth3r/rewrite-your-git-history-in-4-friendly-commands-an9	Rewrite your git history in friendly commandsI build a lot of public experimental demo repos to support my tutorials and I often encourage people to fork them and deploy them to Netlify to try things out The problem is these experimental repos can often come with a terribly messy git history ーand I don t want people to inherit that And so before I publish and promote a demo project I like to clean up the git history First the TL DR use these four commands ーwith caution more on this later ーand enjoy a tidy ship Reset the repo to the initial commit preserving the current state of the files on your local machinegit reset soft INITIAL COMMIT HASH Stage all filesgit add Make a commitgit commit m Initial commit Force push to the origingit push forceLet s look in detail at what each command does Soft reset to the initial commitEach time you push a change to git a unique identifier called a commit hash is generated from various bits of data associated with the commit such as the commit message file changes commit author and date Commit hashes point to the state of the repository when the commit was made and allow us to move back and forward in time in the repository If your repository is hosted on GitHub you can view a list of your commit hashes from the home page of your repository by clicking on the commits link at the top right of the file list This will take you to a list of commits showing a shortened commit hash to the right of the commit message Scroll down to find the first commit click to view the commit and full commit hash or use the copy button to copy the full commit hash to your clipboard which might look something like this debedecp There are ways to get the first commit hash using a terminal command but the method may vary depending on the number of root commits in the history ーwhich is beyond the scope of this blog post When you ve got your initial commit hash run the following commands in your terminal The reset command instructs git to reset the repository to a particular state in this case the initial commit and the soft flag leaves all files in their most recent up to date state reset the repo to the initial commitgit reset soft INITIAL COMMIT HASH check the status of your local repositorygit statusYou should now see a message stating your branch is behind the main branch by however many commits you made after the first commit and that there are some changes to be committed Stage all filesNext use git add to stage all files Given that your gitignore file will remain up to date and include any sensitive files you don t want to commit you should be good to go But at this point it s worth double checking that running git status didn t list any files you don t want to add to the repository Make a commitNext it s time to overwrite that history with a nice tidy commit message Use Initial commit or whatever commit message you d like git commit m I am rewriting history Force push to the originIt s time to push your new commit to rewrite the history using git push force Force pushing tells git to prioritise the changes in your local branch over the changes pushed to the remote And this is exactly what we want to do in this case Run the following command in your terminal and enjoy the power it brings Full disclaimer that you should only force push in git when you absolutely know what you re doing or if your project is tiny and you re the only developer working on it ーlike most of mine git push forceAnd just like that you ve pushed a forced update to the repository The resultGo back to GitHub and refresh the list of commits and you ll see your shiny new commit in the commit list The keen eyed perfectionists out there might notice that I now have two commits in the history rather than one single initial commit However for me and my purposes this a quick and friendly way to clean up my experimental git history ーand gives us all a reminder that nothing in code is ever really perfect If you are interested in completely resetting a git repository to its initial initial commit the process involves a few more steps which I think are a little less friendly One way you can achieve this is by creating an orphan branch from main that contains all the current files creating a single commit to that branch and eventually replacing the original main branch with the new branch Engineering Manager Candost Dagdeviren has a great blog post which lays out the steps So go forth and have a little spring clean of your git history ーbut please remember to do it with caution and only when you really really need to	2022-09-06 19:04:20
