Versatile software engineer with a background in .NET consulting and CMS development. Working on regaining my embedded development skills to get more involved with IoT opportunities.
My experience is the intersection between my interests and those of another developer can vary a lot, from 5% to 90%. If the overlap is low (5%, 10%) and I follow him after reading a nice post, he/she will occasionally publish other stuff that is relevant to me, but most of the times not.
That's the issue I see with following more people...
How is your experience? Is your feed mostly relevant by following more people? I mean, do you actually open and read most articles in your feed or do you need to browse a lot to find something interesting?

I would say that in general there are a lot more front-end focused articles versus back-end. You also tend to see a lot of Javascript frameworks and popular OSS languages.
Sometimes I am more selective than others when it comes to choosing content. I'm kind of over front-end development right now. Actually, I'm just kind of over everything right now. A succession of painfully meaningless jobs has really killed my spark and I dread working now and don't see that changing anytime soon. My current situation seems like a really creative hell for something absolutely terrible I must have done...I keep hoping I'll find something to bring the spark back, but no dice.
Got it! You're more open and actually willing to consume a more varied set of topics. Makes total sense, and explains why a diversified feed meets your current expectations.
I trust you'll find the path back to your spark again! Wish you the best

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Follow more people! I believe that is the biggest scoring factor in what shows up in your feed.
