In general, an evangelist is someone who supports or advocates for a cause. Commonly, the cause is religious in some way. Which speaks to the power of religion in the modern world. It needs a special word to label people who aim to spread a message at all costs. They are that ardent in their beliefs, that they want others to believe, too.
Most evangelists spread words. Sometimes the written word, and other times through stories. But in almost all cases, the medium is words. And rightly so, as the written medium stands the test of time.
But in an era where software is eating the world. Software and technology have become increasingly important mediums. After all, every piece of technology gets developed with a purpose and personality. A thoughtfully and maliciously designed piece of software can do material amounts of damage; even more so than the written word.
So every technology developer has a choice to use the powers of scale and efficiency for good or evil (toxic self-centeredness).
Devangelist is a technology R&D company that aims to use technology for good. Powering R&D for efforts to balance power like justified.capital.
