I'm a web sysop and support engineer. My skills are mainly in back-end: Java, Linux, Python, PostgreSQL, Git, and GitLab. Currently I'm learning front-end skills: JavaScript, and Ruby.
What is this vague "polish" word that reviewers throw about?
Seriously.
Why does Medium get the "polished" comment and DEV.to not?
I mean, I'm not a front-end person, and I don't do design. I really cannot see what is "unpolished" about DEV?
It annoys me. Linux reviews are (or were) the same "this is great but it's not polished like Windows" -- Um. Windows crashes all the time and Linux doesn't so why is it "polished"?
Also, Markdown is a serious Pro for DEV, not a Con. It fails back to HTML which is a huge win. Medium clearly gets in your way, like WordPress, Drupal and 95% other CMSes.
