This is something I think about a lot in our choice to segment this website. It's called DEV, but we're constantly trying to figure out what that means in the healthiest, most inclusive way. Without being so broad that the content trends towards the mean of general "tech" or even broader.
I am a french developer fulled by dark beer and ristretto coffee.
Everlearning coder, I’m currently CTO @Novaway, keeping the empowerment of the people I work with as a priority.
Communities like DEV.to are IMO a good way to have an impact on the different groups that revolves around development and make them blend with each others.
Seeing the concerns and struggles of others is the best way to walk in their shoes.
This requires being careful of respect between these groups but so far you seem to manage it quite well 👍
I'd say dev.to is for developers: anybody involved in the development of software. This necessarily includes the programmers, administrators, graphic artics, community managers, and virtually anybody inside a software company.
Consider these example topics, would they belong here?
How I revamped our API docs to reduce support questions
Using the Git-Plugin I rebuilt our Photoshop workflow directly through GitHub
The challenge of a sales guy selling technical development tools
HR's ingenious solution to making our remote devs feel like part of the team
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
