Hey Feralamillo!

I'm thinking you might appreciate reading @aspittel's post here:

Which can give you some basic pointers for writing on DEV (dev.to) and just about the site in general.

Also, consider checking out the "meta" tag here:

#meta

Discuss all things Dev.to!

which is used to talk about anything having to do with DEV.

Hey Feralamillo! I see this post is a few months old - how has your learning been going?

One thing I found was that I learn a ton by teaching things; so I would recommend doing things like posting on DEV :), going to meetups and giving lightning talks, making small posts on twitter about things you learned, etc... it all adds up!

Thanks Chris!! I am currently volunteering at Codebar. For a talk maybe a very entry-level would be fine.

Regarding posts, it's in my to-do list for some months already. I have been preparing some articles of small things that have taken time to learn (and therefore can be helpful for others) but I feel I need to improve them before posting. I believe is just a mind thing and at some point, I'll feel they are ready and then I'll start publishing them.

Sounds like you're progressing well then!

If you have the itch to publish them, then I wouldn't worry too much about improving them beyond whatever you've already done :) It can be easy to get stuck in an endless "edit" loop without ever publishing... but at some point it just has to go out! Good luck ;)
