I did lol, HN doesn't allow texts above 2000 characters I had 3500 and skimmed it down and had to remove paragraphs.

What you wrote hardly says anything about evangelism and why you'd want to do it. It's mostly about previous experiences, which are hardly related. "I'm a developer with experience in sales and customer support. I like both the technical side and the human contact and would like to combine them," would've sufficed.

He probably felt like sharing, paints a good picture as to why he wants to do it tho

To be honest, after reading that, I don't have a clue why he wants to be an evangelist, or whether he has any clue what it actually means. That description could perfectly describe the reason to become a product manager, or a support lead.

IMHO it should've been an elevator pitch, describing which parts of being an evangelist sound interesting to him. Communication is a key part of being an evangelist.

A blank line only requires 2 or 3 characters on HN. Surely you can shorten it enough to put some in? It really is harder to read without them.
