why devs need to stop being invisible on the internet

so like, have you ever felt like youre just building stuff in a vacuum? nobody cares, nobody sees it, and youre just screaming into the void... yeah thats pretty common actually, and its not just you, alot of devs feel this way, which is weird because we're basically the backbone of the internet, right? but nobody knows who we are, or what we do, because we suck at self promotion, and honestly who can blame us? its hard to talk about yourself without sounding like a total douche, or coming off as 'salesy', which is just... ugh, you know? and dont even get me started on social media, its all just noise, and everybody's trying to 'build their personal brand', which is just code for 'i want to be famous but i dont know how', so yeah... lets talk about how to actually get seen, without being a total fake, or feeling like youre begging for attention, because thats just not what devs do, we build stuff, we ship it, and we move on, but maybe... just maybe, we should care about being visible, because it actually matters, for our careers, for our projects, and for the community, so... here's what i think, take it for what its worth, idk
