I expected this to stay a side project for way way longer, basically be this little thing I did.
Things have gone to plan in a way, but most things were more successful than I expected—not that it wasn't due to hard work.
I started @thepracticaldev
on Twitter and kept that up as the only thing for about 1.5 years before even building dev.to, I was very slow and steady building up the audience. I wasn't sure how long it would take and I budgeted for ten years before I'd give up.
It wound up going faster.
