Leveraging Twitter as a start, but also knowing that it's not the be-all-end-all of organizing on the Internet.

I think the big thing is always looking to the next step, rather than being too consumed with what's currently working.

I had an online business in college which allowed me to make a lot of mistakes in terms of being overly reliant on gimmicky traffic stuff and short term thinking. With DEV I've always tried to predict scenarios years out and not let anyone argue me out of principled thinking about how to treat the community with respect and fairness as we grow.
