Daily.Dev for the “daily developer”

In May 2024, I join DailyDev.

DailyDev is similar to dev.to. However, it seems “better” to me:

  • It has more traction
  • It has better gamification that leads to stronger engagement
  • Somehow, it “fits” more my usage.

I’m still visiting from time to time dev.to. However, DailyDev (almost) replaced my Facebook time during the day. When I’m reading on Dev, it’s more fun, as it’s stuff that interests me, while on Facebook, I primarily argue about (stupid) politics. Plus, the average intelligence of the DailyDev crowd seems much higher. Or maybe because there’s much less emotion and much more engineering, the character of the discussions does not bring out the worst in people. In any case, I feel better there. I liked them so much that I started following them on github and sending bugs and feature requests.

I highly recommend that every fellow IT professional create an account at DailyDev, choose their communities, and start reading (and contributing, if it feels like your thing). I think you’ll love it.
