I think the title says it all?
I am thinking mainly about authors writing on DEV.to but feel free to mention your favorite writers outside.
This is a DEV Discuss thread β it can be as open-ended as we want. π
You an use this syntax for making easier for us to follow said author.
I really like reading @aspittel
on topics such as #aws #beginners #career #learning #writing
because <here goes something you are grateful for>
To follow:
{% user aspittel %}
In fact, I am excluding the extraordinary writer Ali Splittel from the competition because she wrote so many great articles on so many subjects that she would trust half of the answers, assuming we live in a fair world. I guess that's my way to say that she is my favorite author here.

Of the users who aren't super active anymore:
@tux0r (I have a soft-spot for his unhinged opinions, though occasionally problematic)
@jrswab (genuinely a good writer)
@chantastic (absolute goober who's written some genuinely helpful articles)
@dmfay (some really cool older articles and formerly a prolific commenter with great insight into an array of topics)
Currently active users:
@joaofbantunes (never read or watched one of his videos without learning something)
@missamarakay (genuinely good writer and consistently makes me think about DX in a new way)
@jwoertink (unique perspective from an, uhhh, unconventional industry and really gets me thinking about alternative solutions architecture)
Wow thanks a lot. I had a look at all of them and found some pearls
(the others are good too, just writing about other parts of the industry than mine).
In particular:
Was it tux0r who wrote....
...?
I don't know but I will steal it, thanks.
π¬ I have to really think outside the box sometimes lol. Thanks for the mention, glad you dig the articles.
Thanks for the shout-out!
Happy that youβve found the posts and videos useful π.
<3 thank you for the shoutout! And a great prompt to get another blog written!
ah ah that was also a secret hope :)
Haven't had the time to check out a lot of devs here but I'd like to mention @gregorygaines, he makes interesting content that isn't the usual run-of-the-mill "here's X blazingly fast tricks in X language" buzz word fest.
Off dev.to, I like to skim through Fireship's old content both on his main and off channel, One lone coder for the low level stuff, Ben Eater for the more low level stuff and Mental outlaw just to keep up with technology controversies.
Thanks for the hint.
I found this article especially interesting
Stop Using .env Files Now! - DEV Community π©βπ»π¨βπ»
I found the gameboy stuff more interesting, but yes that particular article was quite a show.
Also, I think there's an extra "h" at the start of your portfolio GitHub link (
hhttps://github.com/jmfayard/
).Thanks for the hint.
@matijanovosel Thanks for the shout out!!
I really like reading Tony Robalik articles
on topics such as #gradle #benchmarking #gradle-best-practices.
My favourite article is: Abusing gradle class loader hierarchy
To follow:
dev.to/autonomousapps
On my reading list, thanks!
It would probably be useful to provide a list of some great articles from @aspittel if you are not aware of her work for some reason
Ali Spittel
I learned so much from her writings here. But incredibly this is only a part of what she does, she also has a great podcast, a twitch, ...

@sethcalebweeks (great series on functional programming)
Thanks for the hint. I think this article in particular would benefit many people
Is Functional Programming worth the hype?
