One of my favorite recent follows is @kathyra_ -- I've learned so much from her, plus she's hilarious.

Kat Maddox • May 24 '19

Aww thanks Ali!! ❤️

Conlin Durbin • May 24 '19

Definitely second this one!

Laurie • May 24 '19

So this is a weird thing to say, but I actually follow fewer people so they don't take over my feed and I can find new people! That being said, @karaluton has really great stuff :)

Kara Luton • May 24 '19

Thanks so much, Laurie! This made my day!

Conlin Durbin • May 24 '19

Agreed! Kara has som great content :D

I like to use the "Latest" feature on the homepage for this purpose! There's always something great to be found

It's really crazy to me how rare it is to find uninteresting or garbage content on Dev; on Hacker News or Reddit or basically any other site with an any-user-can-post-stuff model, sorting by most-recently-submitted is a danger zone, or at least a great way to spend hours pushing through sludge to find anything worthwhile, but on Dev I use it all the time to find new authors. Maybe this is just because Dev is relatively young and has only really blown up pretty recently, but I like to think it has more to do with the community here

I'd recommend following a group we (by which I mean myself mostly) have dubbed the #DevDaemons for their overall strong content on this site. Plus the name just sounds cool 😛

There are likely people who will be added to this group later. Regardless, follow them!

Ashlee (she/her) • May 25 '19

Thank you! :D

Jacque Schrag • May 26 '19

Thank you so much! I'm on board with #DevDaemons haha

@ananyaneogi obviously crushed it with her last post which is sitting at #2 all time, but look at her backlog. She's an awesome frontend writer and great community member.

Ananya Neogi • May 24 '19

Thank you so much, Ben!
This wonderful community motivates me to write more. 😄

Ben Halpern • May 24 '19

Yay!

Someone not mentioned yet is @desi

They ask thoughtful and meaningful questions as well as round up beginner posts! Always excited to see a notification pop up that they wrote another post!
