He/Him/His
I'm a Software Engineer and a teacher.
There's no feeling quite like the one you get when you watch someone's eyes light up learning something they didn't know.
This site is in many ways a better alternative to question sites like the Software Engineering stack exchange site. Someone can ask quite conceptual questions and have a (small but increasing) chance to actually get a conversation out of it. Instead of being chastised for asking too broad or off-topic of a question -- and this often due to moderator ignorance on the subject more than the question.
SO itself is still amenable to very factual questions. "How do I fix error XYZ123?" or "Why does Dictionary not guarantee item order?" But all others will be scolded.
And a fine job the lot of you did!
Though I wouldn't classify dev.to as a SO replacement (except maybe the #explainlikeimfive tag).
Maybe one day we'll have a newbie friendly Q&A website minus the toxic culture where we can all learn and help each other grow.

Yeah, had a lot of these same ideas.
