How do you use DEV?

#discuss #productivity #career

I have to confess - I have several great articles bookmarked over the past few months that I am still trying to catch up 👩‍💻.

Do you have a set schedule to catch up with bookmarked articles?
If tutorials are posted on Dev or any other blogging platform, do you try them out?
Any best practices around blogging platform(s) usage you would like to share?

Thanks!

Hello, here's my two cents:

Do you have a set schedule to catch up with bookmarked articles?

Not really. I usually bookmark an article when I want to check the comments later. But I have this problem with bookmarks in general where I bookmark lots of stuff and simply forget about them. 🥴

If tutorials are posted on Dev or any other blogging platform, do you try them out?

Usually, I only look for tutorials when I'm learning something specific so tutorials are more of a thing that I write than read around here. 🙂

Any best practices around blogging platform(s) usage you would like to share?

Regarding blog platforms, I quit Medium after they started paywalling everything and never went back. Publishing on a personal website doesn't work for me because I hate promoting my content.

A great think about DEV as a blogging platform is that if you write something really good you can be sure that your audience will find it, even if you are not internet famous.
