A Problem with Developers!
Developers are intelligent people who love to write code in isolation. Being a developer, I also love to wo...

DEV is amazing! I have had a similar experience. It is so motivating. I write for myself. It helps me learn, gives me something to share when colleagues ask questions, and something to refer back to later. But when no one reads or comments it's a bit demotivating, and you question if it's worth it.
I also have found that I used to browse Twitter for news and articles on tech... I find myself on Twitter much less these days.
Thanks for your comment. Yeah it is. But I think as you write more and make your identity here, then people start noticing you.
Hi, Saeed.
You've been writing a lot of amazing content on DEV, and as you mentioned getting views is the only thing that will motivate you to write more.
My Story is a little different from you, as I started posting on DEV because twitter's word limit was too short to talk. I posted my first article and then it got me 165 reactions and on the same day I got a call from a Startup to work with them, and now I have 12000+ followers in the last 5 months and.
Different Perspective of the story
I'm from Pakistan myself but I'm from a much smaller city "Sukkur", and It's almost impossible to network there and I'm 15 yrs old so people thinks that I'm just a kid. DEV is amazing for me, cause I want to talk to new people and listen to them and put my thoughts somewhere.
BTW, You're a champion.
Thank you so much Aashir. I am much humbled and appreciation from you means a lot to me.
I have been following you since a while and you have been a Champ! You have also been advocating the tech for good, which is amazing.
🙂🙏
I have been reading your posts here since day 1. Even though I am an old member of DEV, I am certainly not an interactive one. I rarely comment on posts and I rarely write anything.
DEV has been the most comfortable community for me as a developer and I am sure everybody else here on DEV feels the same.
Wishing you huge success in the future as well.
Thank you so much for appreciation Arslan Bhai. I read the chapter written by you in the book 'Your First Year in Code'. That was perfectly written.
Same is from my side. DEV has been an amazing platform which has brought recognition to me not only as a developer but also as a writer.
Thank you again. If I have a chance to come to Lahore in future, I will be happy to meet you.
Thanks for the appreciation, Saeed. I'd be happy to meet you when you're here. 😊
Yo! ma boy :p
Great Write Saeed Ahmad. I am a silent reader. But, your post motivates me to change my attitude and inspires me to write.
Thank you so much for your comment Muhammed. Followers like you also motivate me to write more and inspire me to remain active in the community.
