You forgot the biggest advantage which is more humane behavior and zero tolerance for abuse! There are many other communities who try to solve programming problems like StackOverflow, /r/Programming, HN, Facebook & linkedin groups, etc. What separates DEV.to from most others is zero tolerance for abusive behavior.
Many of those other forums have code of conducts too but moderation seem to be lacking, there is a plethora of abusive, demeaning and even passive aggressive behavior there.
On DEV.to, such behavior doesn't exist at all. Either the moderation seems to be efficient or maybe that kind of audience doesn't come here at all. Either way, its a very good thing to happen!
There are no reasons to be aggressive at all towards another fellow human. There are some programmers and technologists who think they are elite in comparison to the less informed plebeians which in turn gives rise to pride and arrogance.
Arrogance needs to be countered with love and compassion, not by showing counter-arrogance to them. Platforms like DEV.to is the exact antidote to this problem.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
