   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.

   🏁 Competitors: Medium

   👍 Pros:    Free

   👎 Cons:    Social justice|Basic features|Quality of content

• Top Websites for Sharpening Your Programming Logic 💻

  Project Euler: Solve math and programming puzzles that help you think logically and improve your problem-solving skills. - Source: dev.to / 24 days ago

• Learning to Code Through Real-World Challenges: My Transformative Journey

  With this newfound perspective, I embarked on a new path. I decided to tackle problems from Project Euler, solving them at scale and under various constraints. It is my hope that this approach will not only provide practical challenges but also allow me to apply and solidify my programming knowledge in a more engaging way. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• Ask HN: Good sources of math exercises for ~10-17 y/o?

  Could solve Project Euler problems in Lua - aka, the easiest programming language to learn https://projecteuler.net/ Alternatively, you could get a homeschool math textbook. They're written differently because the assumption is that the kid is going to have to teach themselves, and as such they are significantly more thorough and easy to understand. I highly recommend them. Don't get the kind that are "workbooks",... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Things you should do in your dev journey 🖥️👩‍💻

  Practice Regularly: Utilize coding challenge platforms such as LeetCode and HackerRank to practice coding regularly. Additionally, websites like Project Euler offer mathematical challenges that can sharpen your problem-solving skills. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• Ask HN: Are there any websites for SQL puzzle games?

  A coworker used to solve Project Euler[1] problems using SQL while they waited for DB indexes to rebuild or tables to restore from backup in the middle of the night. [1] https://projecteuler.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Let's Play with the DEV API

  As we saw in the last section, the url of this endpoint is https://dev.to/api/articles. We also know that we can specify how many results we'll get back for each page. The default is 30, but I don't think we need that many for this example. I think 5 is more than enough for us to take a look at. So let's make a simple fetch request to this endpoint passing the per_page query parameter with a value of 5. - Source: dev.to / 1 day ago

• Tech radar: Keep an eye on the technology landscape

  Also think about the Dev.to platform which allows developers to easily share on their topics. - Source: dev.to / 21 days ago

• Computer Science challenge, let's make it interesting!!

  If you haven’t checked it out yet, dev.to has introduced First Computer Science Challenge in honor of Alan Turing. The challenge is to explain a computer science concept in 256 characters or less. - Source: dev.to / 7 days ago

• Writing an Obsidian Plugin Driven By Tests

  I recently developed the initial version of Obsidian DEV Publish Plugin, a plugin that enables publishing Obsidian notes as articles on DEV. The first prototype was developed during a ~4 hour live stream. - Source: dev.to / 17 days ago
