Discussion on: Why most of the developer blog posts are aiming for code newbies?

It makes perfect sense. In that case, the demand might be much lower for each niche so I would imagine having niche-based communities (or learning groups). That way once you specialized in a certain field you can collaborate with others who are on the same level (give or take). It might work on Reddit...

Thanks for sharing your angle :)

This resonates with my experience. If I post a less mainstream article like say on F# or CQRS, even though I try to target newer devs, it doesn't get much attention here. It starts getting a few views once I mention it where that community normally hangs out. Like in F# Slack or DDD/CQRS forum. (I don't like to do that every time, only when I feel it could contribute something especially helpful. Using that too much feels scummy, like advertising.)
