   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.

• 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 / 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 / 17 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 / 19 days ago

• Training a Twitch chat toxicity classifier on real VOD data at scale

  Not in any useful sense. The Twitch Helix API exposes live IRC chat via EventSub and the Chat & Messaging endpoints, but it has no endpoint for VOD chat replay — the historical timestamped record of a past broadcast. That data exists (you can watch it in the VOD player), but the only programmatic surface for it is the internal VideoCommentsByOffsetOrCursor persisted GraphQL query. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• Twitch Chat Scraper: export any VOD's full chat replay for $1.05/1K

  Twitch chat looks straightforward until you try to pull it at volume. The web player loads it fine; the Twitch Helix API does not expose VOD chat at all — that endpoint was never built. A handful of third-party Apify Actors covered the gap for years, but most are now deprecated and delisted. If you are training a moderation classifier, building a hype-peak esports dashboard, or doing post-broadcast review, and you... - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago
