Just coined "Offstage Advocacy" to describe what Developer Advocates actually do 90% of the time.

Each time someone encounters a technical challenge if they run away from it, they becomes an expert at fleeing rather than at problem solving. We need to develop perseverance, the stills to device solutions, and the will to ask for help and collaborate.
