I want to continue make posts about programming. More like tutorials. Medium was ok for that, but there is Dev.to. I want to ask you about advantages of this platform and how popular is it nowdays?

I'd say it's worth it if you're really trying to share knowledge. The paywall on Medium is a threat to sharing knowledge but not a threat to social media however.
I think Medium is perfectly fine for those who will opt in to the service. Medium is a larger company and has a wider consumer base. And that woks for them.
Dev.to, on the other hand, offers a forum specifically for developers of all kinds with no paywall.
Additionally, if I'm looking for information about
topic x(like your excellentDockerize a Node.js app connected to MongoDbarticle recently), I'm likely to find it anyway by doing a google search whether it's hosted on medium or dev.to.my 2 cents :D
I don't see the harm in posting on both 😄
Hi Vladislav, you should read this and decide:

My answer would be yes :-)
Medium now charges money and thats sux
The only thing is that in dev.to you cant open a publication and have writers publish through your publication
Im not sure if im using the right terms here but i think you understand what i mean...
I have a query. I am moving my articles from medium to here. But is it worth it?
Medium has a paywall. I not looking for money, I want to engage with fellow developers and learn.
Edit: What is your experience after so many years?
Any opinions? :)
