I recently joined the DEV.to community and I am curious how each of you are using the platform. I'm guessing my story is similar to most of yours...

The one and only, the real Dan Vega, love your stuff mate! it was very helpful couple of years ago when I had to know Spring Boot for my work.
On to the question, I use dev.to mostly as reading and learning tool. Also to help with what I know and give feedback to others in their projects.
Appreciate the kind words my friend!
I use this site as a reading platform. I'm writing a few gamedev posts but not ready to publish yet!
I’ve had similar cross posting thoughts about LinkedIn. From what I’ve read, cross posting is fine but do your blog post first. I definitely get more eyeballs here or on LinkedIn. I’ve got designs for some dev.to exclusive posts because the site deserves it. Scott Hanselman has a great post on owning your own words. But, I think you already understand that.
Great feedback, Thanks for the response, Steve!
You might not now and I was the same way early on. In the case of blogging and even open source, you are helping others but there is nothing wrong with turning that passion to help others into a business later on. Just something to think about.

I don't think I've posted to my blog since joining DEV. I get a lot more views here.
I don't care who owns my writing -- it's open-source!
