Thank you! I'm truly glad you're enjoying them. You also allude to an interesting point that I hadn't even considered when I started blogging here: The fact that Dev.to's audience seems to be decidedly international.
I didn't really notice that before I started my blogs. I just sorta started writing. But once I began cranking out articles, I realized that some significant portion of my readers aren't American. (Which is awesome!) It's been interesting to read the comments from so many foreign (to me) devs.
Some may wonder, "What does that matter?" After all, (most of) my blogs are about programming. And there's nothing inherently American about coding. But I've noticed that sometimes it does matter.
Sometimes, the "trends" that I perceive in the American coding environment are, according to some of my readers, not trends at all outside the US. For example, one of my earlier blogs was about the "demonization" of PHP. You see, in America, it's largely dismissed as an "amateurish" language amongst many professional devs. But that attitude's not nearly so prevalent outside the US. And of course, when I write about dev issues that are more societal than technical, I see an even greater difference between my (often sheltered) view, and that of the broader world.

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