Over the past 20 years, I've benefited greatly by free sites such as:
Dev.to
StackOverFlow
Medium
CodeProject
I leaned a long time ago that I could use these sites to help others; as well as to document things that I once knew but have since forgotten. My articles and answers act as my own personal library of the stacks I've learned over the years.
Of all the sites above, Dev.to stands out:
The people are friendly, considerate, and not ego driven.
There are no Nazi-like moderators like StackOverFlow.
There's no mixed and ridiculous content like Medium.
It doesn't have a "Rating" system which breeds egotism.
Dev.to shines in the ability to create new articles, edit them at will and even delete them. It is the most simple and elegant way to publish articles I've found.
Its modern, unlike Code Project which suffers from massive technical debt and has bred it's own pandemic of egotists.
Dev.to people are true experts in their fields. Their collaboration skills are better than any site I've seen.
If you are reading this, I urge you to take a deep look into Dev.To. As the years go by, I assure you that you will not remember every aspect of solutions you spent years uncovering. Start documenting today, and build your own personal IT Journey to help others and to help yourself later on, when you need a little reminder on "how it was done".
Haha, I really felt the "There are no Nazi-like moderators like StackOverFlow." point. Up until this day I'm scared of asking question on Stack Overflow. How do you feel about having your own personal blog (your domain and all)? I always had this fear that if something goes south with the hosting websites, I will lose all of my content. Thx for the input.
Just last week I tried to help someone on StackOverflow. I had put in a link to a post made here which was perfect fit for the answer. What happened was my reply was deleted. When I asked about it, I was told Links are not allowed because you are promting that other site! When I complained about it I was voted down 20 times. So I just deleted the meta post, my original reply and deleted many others just like it. I'm done trying to help others on StackOverflow.
Personal blog is ok but I usually put all my time into real job.
