I am a CMO of a dev tool startup called neptune.ai.

What is this marke "pear"?

Ok, developer advocates are avocados.
Dev marketers are similar but completely different.

And we deserve the same amount of respect and fruit references!

How about pears, developer markepears?

If you are with me, from today, proudly wear the pear emoji 🍐!
