#Discuss can be a great place to get opinions and advice in longer form than twitter. Plus, posts have more permanence here since you can search for them -- my posts from a year ago still get readers!
Also, if you're a strong writer and put a lot of effort into your posts, the community is still close-knit enough where your writing can get a lot of attention, which is awesome.
I can't emphasize enough how mean programmers can be on Reddit and HackerNews (I've been on the front page of both for blog posts and it was a rollercoaster experience). This community is so much more supportive! Strong COC FTW!
Even if some content isn't tailored to my interests or experience level, I still like to skim and maybe pick something new up!
Thanks so much for linking to these articles! They all sound fantastic and are going straight to my reading list! This comment is making me think how much I love the "Classic DEV Post" feature underneath the comment sections, and also wonder if there are additional places that older content could be surfaced. Unlike other social media feeds, the utility of a post on DEV doesn't expire super quickly, so finding relevant old content could be very useful.
Yes!! There used to be ones that would show up on the homepage, but that stopped. I really liked that! The classic posts are also an awesome feature though!

I love the supportive (and built-in) community! As for posts, I'm going to go against the grain and say I love super in-depth tutorials like
