I'm going to pin this post to the top of my profile so there's a place for anyone to publicly ask me a question, and I'll do my best to reply when I can.
I'm happy to offer advice primarily on the intersection of software, entrepreneurship and career.
Happy coding!

Hey @ben, How are you adjusting to the rise of AI chatbots, which directly answer developer questions and could impact the community's content creation and engagement?
This
is a glitch, right? I don't think that using arrow syntax in text is proper grammar.
Hey, can you explain how @dumb_dev_meme_bot works?
Scraping the latest Meme Monday and then using the API to post.
If you have any questions about the API feel free to post over at core.forem.com
Neat! Also, how does someone make or suggest a tag?
We don’t have any official place right now but I’ll come up with one and get back to you. In the meantime just let me know your idea.
Fan theories for both Gamer and Popcorn Movies and TV Forems, as they are vital parts of both communities.
Wow sooo cool 💪🏻😍
When I opened dev.to, it said that is does not support a secure connection. Why?
Hmmm not sure, any more info you could provide?
No, it only came up once.
Umm... discover.forem.com/ is broken right now.
forem.com/discover works
We do have a service at discover.forem.com which has indeed stopped working and we are currently removing the things that depend on it.
I added a quickie but I think I should ask you here too,
I recently checked the latest section on the Discover tab, and most posts are spam! It’s affecting the visibility of quality posts. Could anything be done about this? For example, Stack Overflow has a pending review for first-time posts. What do you think?

I was wondering, how are dev challenges typically judged? Any additional insights would really be appreciated. I'm asking so I can better plan and set expectations for future ones.
I know the post already touches on this a bit, but I’d love to hear something a bit more relatable — like whether judging is influenced by reactions or engagement, or if it’s purely technical. Thanks again in advance! 😊
Hello dear
Hi Ben,
I hope you’re doing well! I’m reaching out about the Wix Studio Challenge completion badge. I noticed I didn’t receive it automatically, so after some time, I sent an email to support@dev.to. However, it has been about a month, and I haven’t received a response.
For reference, here’s the link to my submission: dev.to/shafayeat/i-made-a-fully-fu... .
I truly appreciate all the effort your hardworking team puts into this platform. I’d be grateful if you could help look into this matter.
