What about him? It's that he's a model tech evangelist. Who else? When I was paying attention, I thought Addy Osmani was good, https://addyosmani.com/blog/. Eric J. Ma, https://ericmjl.github.io/, is terrific, though I don't know that he would describe him self that way. Hadley Wickham, https://hadley.nz/, for me would be the gold standard.

To me it's that he's passionate about the tech industry and how it changes peoples' lives. Same with Russell Beattie. As a developer often my eyes glaze over, unpredictably and involuntarily, when I hear about some next big thing, sometimes to become obsessed with it later on. This happened with LLMs. Perhaps I'm not that interested in tech in general, just a few things in particular.

Of note, Guy is Chief Evangelist at Canva.

I don't think it is a coincidence that the two companies he worked at as an evangelist have both become hugely successful.

Also note that he is focused on evangelizing "great products". The product has to come first. You can't evangelize crap.

I only feel that Microsoft evangelists are paid seminar speakers.

I always felt that this guy was a bit of a scammer...

Did he die?

I had the same reaction.

The blog post is all over the place with an unclear premise in the first paragraph (See passive voice.)

Lampoons Guy.

> To summarize, he was evangelizing to a cult. Not very reassuring, if you ask me.

Then plugs Guy's course on Udemy.

It could be a deliberate rejection of the standard format of a blog. Here's the issue which seems like a less confusing starting point: https://deprogrammaticaipsum.com/issue-58-community/

OT, but I took another look.

This isn't about formatting (They're using WordPress, BTW.)

They're breaking conventions about headlines, and the message isn't getting across.

I meant the style of content. That would include conventions about headline.

The precedent for calling that the format is TV Formats. https://www.wgfoundation.org/tv-format-fundamentals

The presentation is part of the format in how I intended it, but the whole thing. But maybe I should have used another term.

No.

Seems to be confusion about the structure of the article.

Think of it as a page in an issue of a magazine. Though The main content the page references here (search the page for a phrase and click on the word "recording"):

> In any case, this month’s Vidéothèque movie is the recording of a 2017 Facebook Live session, where Guy Kawasaki explained his experience as a software evangelist at Apple.

The magazine issue is here: https://deprogrammaticaipsum.com/issue-58-community/ This is the third bullet point.
