Not necessarily making two versions of the same post, but I do think it would be nice to see more Italian-language material here, even at the cost of viewcounts. Your call, though, obviously!
I’d love that, too. However, I prefer to read English material since I consider it to be more accurate and updated. At the same time, I think I won’t find social interactions with any other Italian developer.

Unfortunately I agree - you're more than likely correct about that. The only way to change that dynamic is to create the space yourself, but I absolutely appreciate that it's a lot of work for potentially little gain. DEV does seem like the right sort of place to push for it over time, though.

It's the same point , really - it's a volume problem. There is so much more work produced in English that regardless of the quality/trash ratio there will just always be more of it available. The remedy is to produce accurate, up to date information to try to change that status quo.
I'm really not trying to tell you to do anything, I just think it's an interesting problem.
Huh, that's interesting - so it's not the content, it's the language itself that's off-putting in this context. Do you think it has to do with the fact that programming langauges use English keywords? Or is it more about newer, awkward loanwords for technical concepts?
More the second. And rather historically on my opinion.
Some words just haven't just been translated at all (bit, byte). Other countries have been more actively enforcing use of translations (i.e. octet is used in OS French localizations, we use byte)
With time legit Italian words just become "ankward", or too "academic" for the masses.
It's a long time I don't read or hear "elaboratore" or "calcolatore" for computer.
Then probably it just become more efficient to use single terms to convoy ever newer concepts that would require "an entire phrase" missing "better Italian jargon" (i.e "deploy")

Italian here and I do very much confirm that Italian often "sounds" wrong for technical matters.
Probably we are so used to English terminology that "proper" Italian terms sounds rather ugly those few times we read it on the web...
