I would recommend not making any career pivots to sales or marketing.

Marketing is audience-dependent.

If you are marketing to VCs then disparaging competitors and making grandiose claims can be effective.

But when marketing to developers then constructive criticism and humility may be more effective.

Not sure if this is sarcasm, but GP has good taste and when marketing this stuff to developers, you need good taste. Otherwise it just rings hollow, and doesn’t inspire enthusiasm.
