ted (not lasso)

who has more influence: devs or cultural leaders? imo the relationship b/w the two is bidirectional, but devs have a stronger, more transformative impact on society the best devs care to build something that meets consumer demand, which is not always mutually inclusive w/ "cool" we tend to forget that last part

idk the answer but my 2c is it’s easy to build in an echo void by just casting about the hot trend, a lot tougher to choose a long term goal(espc when it’s unsexy) and stick it out *sometimes* those two groups overlap though!

Do you mean devs that are also influencers or devs that are unknown to the public in general?

As a dev: 100% cultural leaders have more influence, and I'm surprised this is even a question you are asking. It's almost never true that if you build it, they will come. All movements require cultural leaders, and tech movements are no different. Some are less centralized then others, but is is undoubtedly the ones who bridge the gap with regular humans that have a lasting impact. Some devs can do this, but those devs are also cultural leaders. It's almost a tautology by definition: cultural leaders create cultural impact. Whether or not they are a dev is irrelevant.

I’m excited to see what happens when devs / founders / etc harness the power of storytelling! Sharing WHY they’re building what they’re building. That’s when the next level of impact is tapped into

imo, seeking influence through impact in a desired space is healthy. by my definition, influence is a slow bend, while impact is the difference from an original perspective. cultural leaders are better at bending the script over time, while developers can easily enable significant impacts (e.g. crypto or AI)

devs as long as they can show/communicate what it is they’re building to create a better world the cultural leaders often bring understanding to the impacts hard to pick one or the other, both needed

generally speaking, i believe cultural leaders have more influence on what people think/say/believe and devs have more influence on people's behaviors/actions

some (very few) devs have more influence than cultural leaders, but we're talking about altman, chesky, zuckerberg et al overall, cultural leaders win - for better or worse

This is good question. Nowadays I think devs influence more the public because of the tools they use. I mean, if you can build something from sketch and people love it, you can be the most introvert and shy guy and still you will influence and motivate others. Cultural leaders tend to speak from their perspective and is often from above.

you need both, but I'm biased. Developers who understand a little bit of culture is way more powerful than cultural leaders who understands a little bit of development.

if you expand "devs" to be "technologists" and look at the last hundred years or so, it doesn't feel close devs
