The first one got the boost: twitter.com/ThePracticalDev/status... and the second one got the Top 7 (but no social boost) dev.to/afif/another-100-underline-...

Interesting as I would have expected the top 7 boost to result in more engagement than twitter.

More questions than it answers now! I know the stats on posts aren't great but did you notice a significant boost from social media? Or was it just that that particular post was just so unique and high effort at the time that you think everyone decided to read it (as when I first saw that post I did think "better up my game" as it seemed to be much higher effort than most posts at the time!)?

Well I have been putting it off, but I think it is time to return to social media, 10 years without using it properly (I was ahead of the curve realising it was bad for you!)...but business over personal interest, hopefully I can pay someone else to manage it pretty quickly so I don't get sucked back in!

Super useful, the last kick I needed to pull my finger out, thanks as always!
