Thank you for stopping by! I am a full-stack developer that combines the power of entrepreneurship and programming to make the lives of programmers easier.
I have been a developer by 28 years. I have seen the web grow and evolve.
I don't hate ads. Ads have provided the money for the web evolution.
Ads did also motivate the people to put the content in the web and make it the big thing it is today.
I like a lot the Ads related to programming concepts, services and components. It keeps me informed of new stuff while paying the people working on the content of the websites that I like.
Some people want to pay, some people like Ads. When I see a website with a premium feature of diabling the Ads, I see freedom.
Maybe the problem is the business model. Many websites put a fixed price for disabling the Ads. I would make a flexible model based on a prepaid amount and the user decide the random distribution of Ad exclusions.
Dev.to and SO are fundamentaly different places. It's not just the direction of information, at dev.to you give at SO you ask. But SO is also quite much a game, earning points and stuff. And also this extremely terrible stuff:

Thank you for contributing 9+ years ago, here's what's wrong with your contribution. stackoverflow feels really welcoming. Funny party is that it's even CSS related question. CSS/JS questions and answers on SO should be archived as they are outdated after this long period.
Stack and DEV are definitely very different. It will be interesting to see how things evolve.
I’ve been trying to think of DEV as tooling for folks to make use of as they’d like (so long as they don’t hurt the general user experience).
Stack, DEV, Reddit, Medium, Quora, Twitter, GitHub, Discuourse, etc. There’s a bit of crossover with a lot of different platforms that serve different needs.
Staying open-minded and imaginative and seeing where things go. The constant for some of this is that we live on the open web and are therefore partners to Google.
DEV might rival StackOverflow in terms of popularity in a couple years.
Developers really hate ads and having a social media dedicated to them with basically no ads will certainly keep on attracting more and more people.

I see value in DEV because it provides the experience in the form of POST.
I use Stack Overflow in order to consult one organized knowledge base in the form of Q/A.
