Ask HN: Is being a DevRel a dead end?

Hey folks! I have 10+ years experience as a SE. Mainframe, backend, frontend. I am getting slowly tired of “just coding”, and was a Solutions Architect in the past.

Now I am getting job offers for a Developer Relations role, which sounds really fun (Writing Docs, Events, hands-on coding etc)

But I wonder, once this is in my CV, I can never apply again as an IC or other technical roles ever again!

Can someone share their experience or expertise on this?
