That's pretty great growth on DEV and on Twitter! I've been using both for longer and have no where near that progress. I guess besides writing more frequently (on DEV and on Twitter), I just have to write more interesting and/or controversial things. 😂

I did see your Elon Musk post, that was pretty clever to capitalise on that topic.

I agree. It still requires a lot of manual effort, but for the time I’ve been doing it, the progress is great.

I really think more is better than controversial. I didn’t write a ton of controversial articles (only 2 actually). Once you’re writing frequently, you’ll feel comfortable playing around with topics until you find a good fit.

I’m glad you liked my Elon Musk post, I didn’t just write it for the controversy, but that was a nice bonus.

Thanks for taking the time to write such a genuine comment!
