The Best Time is Now

One of the most common things we hear developers say they wished they were doing more of, is writing about their work and sharing it with others. dev.to is fundamentally built to help facilitate that process. It's well established that writing and sharing your work is just about the best thing you can do to help your own understanding and boost your career prospects.

As the saying goes, "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." In order to help you take the leap, we've created some templates for your first DEV post. You're welcome to post about anything related to software development, but you may want to start with one of these templates.

Simply click one of these blue buttons to launch a ready-made template in our new article editor. Have fun!
