It would be bad style to publish documentation that did that, but since a wiki is designed to be edited by many people who will each have their own quirks and don't usually consult house style guides, doing this on a wiki probably won't raise eyebrows. That said, you should go back and change those "the developer"s to "you"s as you can, to improve the readability. The tech-writing circles I have contact with overwhelmingly prefer "you" to "the (user, developer, etc)" when speaking to the reader. This also allows you to more easily write to the developer _about_ his users without ending up with constructs like "the developer should (do something) to allow the users to (do something else)".
