Five Year Club at dev.to

TL;DR

Today marks 5 years of me being on dev.to. In general, I gotta say that I like the community (I just got this nice badge, so what's not to like 🙂), and wish to be on the platform 5 years from now too.

Stats

I like stats (and working towards improving them), so I'll share my stats from these 5 years:

  • Posts: 92
  • Total post reactions: 847
  • Total post views: 273,102
  • Followers: 2895
  • Following users: 36

Top 5 most viewed blog posts

Personal favorites that, IMHO, could use a bit more view-love

Daily-Thought Series

Recently, I started a new daily-thought series where I post a tweet-like tiny blog post entry every day. The post that got the most exposure in that series was Knowing != Doing. Please feel free to check out the rest and chime in on the discussion.

Learnings

I shared a bunch of learnings from when I published my 300th blog post on my blog.

One thing that still holds to this day is the consistency. What you're consistent with, you will improve.

Wow, congrats! The platform isn't much older than that.

I think this place is just hitting an inflection point and a capacity to really deliver on what we want to be. Really hope to see what you think in 5 more years time.

Mate, article with using git defo needs some more love. It might be a bit scary as there's a lot of text, but worth it!

Thank you! And yeah, I felt like I 'nailed it' by adding a dose of humor; but, these days I guess it's hard(er) to figure out what's gonna go viral. So, spread the love 🙂
