   It is a nice mini-blog, it's for free and such but

   As a mini-blog, it is a nice alternative for Medium to publish and share information about programming.

   However, the community and the organization are biased toward social justice (and they are open to it). You can read its Code of Conduct, it is so vague and politically leads (I prefer a term of service because it defines fair rules for everybody). So it alienates developers that we don't care about politics in pro of people that want to talk about any other topic such as sexuality, how women are unprivileged, and such. It even mandates to use inclusive language. Good grief.

   My main complaint is the quality of the community. It is not StackOverflow (so we don't want to ask for an answer here), and most of the top topics are clickbait, such as "how to become a rockstar developer in ... days", "100 tips to become a better programmer" (and it doesn't even talk about programming).

   Technically this "mini blog" site allows us to use markdown, and it is okay. However, the whole experience is really basic. Even the template is ugly.

• I turned a Claude Code-only web reader into a normal MCP server

• JavaScript still can't ship a full-stack module

  While developing Wasp, a JS full-stack framework, we keep researching other ecosystems (Rails, Laravel, Django, etc.) and finding ways how they figured out developer productivity. We kept finding these reusable legos, so we gave them a name: "full-stack modules". Let's define what we mean by that exactly. - Source: dev.to / 8 days ago

• What We're Seeing After 8,000 SEO Audits

  If you want to see where your site sits in this distribution, run an audit — it takes about 12 seconds. - Source: dev.to / 12 days ago

• How to Get Your First Tool Online

  Getting a first thing online is a milestone worth not reaching alone. A MLH hackathon is the perfect place to try: build, break, and deploy alongside other people over a weekend. And DEV is always here for the other parts, open all the time, where a new coder can post the project, ask for feedback, and read how someone else cleared the same hurdle. - Source: dev.to / 13 days ago

• AI slop and the content treadmill every developer is on

  Same idea. Four rewrites. Four character budgets. Four hashtag policies. Four mental models of an algorithm I do not control and cannot see. And that is before you reach Mastodon, Threads, Reddit, a newsletter, dev.to, and whatever launched this quarter. - Source: dev.to / 15 days ago

• Best way to find a specific strain at dispensaries?

  They are not perfect, but sites like leafly.com and weedmaps.com can help. Source: over 2 years ago

• Best strains to avoid paranoia

  Monst indica strains will have less paranoia. Go to leafly.com search the different strains your dispensary has by name. For example search for straing GG4 - youll see the top reported effects are relaxed sleepy and hungry and 30% of users found it good for stress and anxiety. That's how I have always navigated strains because im too lazy to learn about terps. Source: over 2 years ago

• Just discovered hemp root.

  I read here and leafly.com about the newest products. But I didn't know about hemp root being used for pain relief. Its like 1000 years old, back to Pliny the Elder, lol.. Anyway just google it if your interested in its uses and effects, and you can buy it online legally too. Just passing along. Source: about 3 years ago

• Best strains for motivation + energy?

  Should try browsing on leafly.com On there you can filter the strains by different effects, what it helps with, effects you want to avoid, what type of strain it is, and the thc level, terps, and flavors With all that you might be able to find the perfect few that you want What I usually do is see what strains the dispensaries have and and look up all there effects and reviews on that strain on leafly.

• Where do I start?

  Just to reference point 4, MC is a hugely personal thing; one strain may have fantastic benefits to you, but someone else with the same symptoms may get no relief at all. If I may suggest, do your research first. Have a look at something like leafly.com and do searches for your symptoms. From this you should know whether you want an indica leaning strain or a sativa leaning strain. Or maybe both, it's not unusual... Source: about 3 years ago
