Hi everybody! Your posts brought me here - I'm a recent bootcamp grad and I've been reading lots of dev.to articles ever since I started my webdev journey.

My name's Michael and I got deeply interested in software back in 2017 thanks to cryptocurrency. Some friends and I started a YouTube channel that I hosted, where I got to ask researchers about their network designs and encryption. It was a lot of fun!

Since then I've written some articles about software and job-searching. I'm thinking about publishing here instead of Medium.com and I was wondering if you had any thoughts on which platform's better for growing an audience?

I think that dev.to is a really good platform for building an audience. If you check my account for example, around 500 followers and 20k views in a month.
Welcome to dev.to!

Edit - If you want I'm interested in writing an article together / exchanging links
