The point should be that every platform company needs great developer evangelism, and a great developer evangelist should certainly be serving the developer community as much as they serve the company that writes their check. This is why the current situation is ultimately a win for Google and a loss for Microsoft.
Fake Steve misses the point on this one, which is a surprise considering how amazingly great Apple is doing with developer evangelism on the iPhone. No wonder he wouldn't want Don Dodge. What would he do with someone like that?
The fact that we're having this discussion means he probably failed. The evangelist needs to make with the awesome about products without raising suspicion.
Yes, I understand it's satire or at least something similar. I'm not a regular reader, and maybe I'm missing some subtext. In this case it's too subtle for me because there's this huge glass house called iPhone Developer Relations. Fake Steve should at least boast about how well they nailed it. That would be funny.
