This tweet is missing so much context that it seems deliberately aggravating. Similar rhetoric has always came from Chrome DevRel and it doesn't resonate as well as you think.

Wasn't meant to be aggravating, and looking at the tweet it seems more tone-deaf in hindsight. I was just musing that I hadn't heard of native app developers using a size budget strategy until coming across this.

FWIW I don't think it's fair to classify any tweet from me as being representative of the views of Chrome or Chrome DevRel. I believe that I should be able to casually tweet about web stuff without representing some higher level views, just as you do.

I think you're undermining how your tweets and role is perceived. You're tweeting about web performance, which is in line with chrome devrel. At what point are your tweets personal versus professional when they're the same thing?

I think the point is perfectly clear. This tweet comes from an individual called Jason Miller. It does not come from an account representing Googlers. I think it's more reasonable to assume employees have their own personal thoughts and aren't spokespersons for that company.

I would generally agree with you expect the role of a developer advocate/relations is to literally tweet and interact with the community. It's not an unreasonable assumption, and one you generally need to accept when you accept a job that aligns with your interests and passions.

I did not give Google Dominion over my socials. Most folks end up putting a disclaimer in their bio explicitly stating this. Do I need one?

I don't think you do. However, aren't these kinds of tweets a part of your role? Developer outreach about the web and web performance?

Like, if I start tweeting about React Native (the team I'm on), then it seems pretty reasonable to assume I'm a part of a larger team narrative? Is the difference that I wasn't involved in React Native before I joined the team?

I would just assume you're speaking as someone with experience working on that team, not as someone speaking on behalf of the team, and give you the freedom to express your personal views without consequence.

What if my job was to tweet about React Native?

In principle, I believe if you are explicitly receiving monetary payment for promoting something and cannot as a result express your personal opinions, you need to explicitly state that are you being "sponsored" by that company, as you would effectively be an advertiser.
