Should we adjust "evangelist" to "dev experience" on website?

meta: "DevRel Collective 🥑 - and So Can You! exists to facilitate sharing information, resources, and encouragement among the Developer Relations community."

IMO I don't think so, I think DevEx falls under DevRel, not as the top level category.

[mary-grace]

I agree that DevEx != Evangelist or DevRel, but if what we're looking to change is the "Advocates - Community Managers - Evangelists" section, I understand the argument and would be ok with it.

[quintessence]

Ah ok - I would say in that case "in addition to" rather than "in place of" -> so "Advocates - Community Managers - Evangelists - Developer Experience"

[mbbroberg]

I'm pro adding rather than swapping -- Evangelist is still a common enough title and within the category of work we want to feel welcome.

(And for background: we were once called Evangelist Collective back when that was cool)

[phrawzty]

+1 for keeping "evangelist". It's literally my job title, for example, and I suspect that's very much the case for a lot of other people.

[quintessence]

It looks like we're all in alignment - is this the only change we're looking to make? If so, I can go ahead and make it.

Seeing as this is a bit old, asking again if we should add - Developer Experience to the headline, or if we should replace Evangelists with it?

[RCheesley]

I think we should replace it with Developer Experience personally, as a lot of folks do understand and equate the terms nowadays. Having both adds a lot of extra text for something that I think in common understanding means the same. But I'm not strongly feeling either way, if others feel strongly it should be added that is fine too.

[jerdog]

Agreed - @phrawzty at the time you were the holdout on the "Evangelist" term. What say you now?
