What Hacker News says?
It's not a joke, it's based on this article by Mary Thengvall. [ https://www.marythengvall.com/blog/2018/1/31/developer-avoca... ] It resonated with a lot of the people in that role, specifically with Microsoft Developer Advocates who I've seen share that article quite a bit.
