Dev by profession and hobby. Not a ton of time for hobbies these days though! Mom of two young kids. Also really into dog training (agility, nose-work, advanced obedience, etc) & reading fiction. 😃
I really hope you're wrong!! I only joined recently (October...) and I was hoping this would be my new home for blogging about tech topics and just connecting with other devs 🙁 So far I've seen a mixed bag of posts. Some are similar to what you and the commenters on this post have complained about, but I've also seen some really cool content. I really hope the cool content prevails!
One thing I do love about dev.to that I haven't seen in other places is how engaged and positive everyone is! I feel like every time I write a post or comment I get so much great feedback, it feels like a very safe space, which is really cool.
30+ years of tech, retired from an identity intelligence company, now part-time with an insurance broker.
Dev community mod - mostly light gardening & weeding out spam :)
Glad to hear this - I'm not really complaining (much) yet, but expressing my concerns of what could be starting, and asking if we should do something, if so: what?

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
