Hot take, hashnode vs dev.to

I feel like dev.to has better features than hashnode, like how I can just write this post and it will get much more traction then on hashnode, but hashnode has a better writing experience, especially for beginners just getting into technical writing. Also if you think 52 weeks of code is stupid please tell me.

The community and the content here are definitely better.

52 weeks of code is stupid, just don’t stop coding, that’s it, that’s the trick 😉😄

Also for hashnode, thumbnails matter much more then here on dev.to, because people for the most part can actually see your thumbnail on dev.to unless you are on the top of that section.

  1. It's not "then on hashnode", it's "than on hashnode". Yes, you are correct. Dev.to has more pull.
  2. What is this "52 weeks of code" you speak of???
  3. Yes, writing in Hashnode is a breeze. The editor is excellent.

52 weeks of code is one of my past blogs, ngl its is sort of misleading from the title lol. But yeah thank you for commenting, I am only 15 so I probably made a lot of mistakes already lol, but that is what the community is here for and to come and help. :)

I see. Well, keep on learning and I know: Spelling, Grammar. Those subjects are soooo darn boring. But guess what? As a professional, it is sooo terrible to read emails and such at your workplace without proper spelling or grammar. It's shocking.

So take this as advice: It sucks, but you must.

I've never heard of hashnode, I've been on this website for a couple of years and I hate that most posts are like "5 reasons to X", "10 ways to", etc...

Yeah same, but it those type of blogs that get clicks and they are the type of blogs that will make them money. I try not to do blogs like that, because its not really what i would like to do. I like learning things and rather then telling you THE TOP 20 PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES TO LEARN IN 2023. I want my stuff to be more of a leaning adventure in away. I am only 15 so I don't really know if I am even allowed to monetize blogs anyways.
