Five Year Club at dev.to
TL;DR
Today marks 5 years of me being on dev.to. In general, I gotta say that I like the community (I just got this nice badge, so what’s not to like 🙂), and wish to be on the platform 5 years from now too.

Daily-Thought Series
Recently, I started a new daily-thought series where I post a tweet-like tiny blog post entry every day. The post that got the most exposure in that series was Knowing != Doing. Please feel free to check out the rest and chime in on the discussion.
Learnings
I shared a bunch of learnings from when I published my 300th blog post on my blog.
One thing that still holds to this day is the consistency. What you’re consistent with, you will improve.
