We just published our first YouTube video 🤓
It’s a small nod to a group we refer to as “Creators That Code", the developer support system we forgot to name.
These are the people educating and entertaining developers.
Creators that code help developers learn, stay current, discover tools, stay connected, and even giggle when things get hard, whether through YouTube, blogs, Discord communities, OSS education, meetups, bootcamps, or content that now becomes part of the knowledge layer behind AI systems.
This video is simply a thank you to that ecosystem 🫶 🚀 👏

In the early days of Plug.Dev, it was surreal to see OG creators signup who i'd known for years. Today is one of those surreal days, as we welcome @freeCodeCamp

Around 3 years ago, I ran the first @posthog dev influencer campaign, it was an experiment... aaand it flopped.
I missed the ICP, picked the wrong creators, and chose content formats that didn’t fit. With no rules in place, the whole thing felt more like ads than education, and worst of all, not enough content even made it live. Thanks for letting me be your guinea pig, @posthog (@james406 + Charles) 🙏 Sorry it was sh*t, but I learned a lot.
That failed campaign contributed to the foundation for Plug.Dev
What I realized wasn’t just that creators mattered... it was how broken the process was. Back then, I was cold DM-ing creators, stuck in endless back-and-forth comms, chasing invoices and payments one by one, throwing UTMs in email threads, and drafting legal contracts manually. It was messy, slow, and not scalable.
Fast forward to today: we now run creator programs for the world’s leading DevTool brands... now with a platform that fixes all those pain points and a specialist team to support scaling programs: ICP-matched creators, streamlined outreach and bookings, one invoice for everything, built-in UTMs and analytics, and contracts handled from the start.
That early flop showed me exactly what was broken, and those learnings helped inform priorities whilst building Plug.dev ... so yeah, cheers posthog 🦔🙏
Developers adopt tools through trust, not ads.
That trust is increasingly being built by creators that code, the developers teaching, sharing, and influencing tool adoption at scale.
This is Creator-Led Growth for Devtools (CLG): a new GTM motion for devtools, powered by creators that code.
We’ve published the full deep dive in the link below:

The adoption of developer tools has changed, a lot.
It hasn't been led by ads, or private forums. It’s been led by creators that code, the ones teaching, sharing, and influencing what tools developers choose to adopt and why.
