DEV Community

Discussion on: I want to start writing about development, but I’m a beginner. Is this is a bad idea?

Adding on to this as a dev who has wanted to dip into writing for awhile but struggles with some of the same doubts: I’ve learned a ton from just hanging out here regularly, seeing what sort of posts get traction, leaving comments, and seeing what sort of comments get responses.

Just doing that has made me more comfortable with the community, and given me a bunch of jump-off topics when I do decide to start writing.

And overall, don’t rush into it but don’t wait too long (like I did) either. Know what you want to get from it, write from the heart, aim to create value for your audience, and you’ll do great :)
