Hi, I've been a professional developer and DevOps engineer for 20 years 🤓. I share original content from diverse real-world production experiences through monthly blog posts.
if you are looking to build something unique and want to experiment with managing a new site or target a local community, then you should opt for a new domain.
I respectfully disagree. The time to reach a critical audience while starting as nobody on a new domain is too discouraging. And you can publish in any language on platforms like DEV.
I would say : start on DEV no matter what. If you are at a company with tech blog platform, cross-post there and use canonical URL here to there. If you want to experiment your own platform, do the same, cross-post and use canonical URL here to there.
I'm a freelance technical writer, web scraping expert, AI integration specialist, and software engineer. Spreading knowledge through writing is my mission!
Yess, that's exactly what I'm planning to do as well. The cross-posting + canonical URL strategy is a sweet middle-ground to achieve the best of both worlds.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

That is a viable approach too! Thanks for sharing it!
