There's no such thing for DevRel. At least not yet... I hope there won't be. It's more human relations than logic. More heart than reason. We need this freedom. Sounds too poetic maybe, but it's real.
yeah ;-) But then we put together a data scientist, a backend dev, a sys admin. All 3 may use Python, but... you've guessed it.
At my previous job we tried to put together a Lua community, since our product used Lua for scripting. Well... it was a total failure since there was so little in common for how and what Lua is used.
So I mean, it may be fun and useful to sometimes change the angle of how one sees own industry, as there may be a bigger world behind it. Not always useful though to one's immediate interest :P
I agree. This freedom can be both a blessing and curse.
The key seems to be using and promoting standards when it gives clarity and consistency, not rigidity. And promoting freedom when it promotes constructive creativity, not clutter and confusion.
It's hard to find the balance though. And sometimes there's too much passion behind decisions, even faticism, which interferes negatively on logic and reason.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Yeah, it's a totally different field. We're used to having the "right ways" of writing software.
Python has the "pythonic" and the Zen of Python, for instance.
