3 Dev.to tips I hoped someone told me

Hello World!

I've been using dev.to for quite a while now, and I have a few juicy tips I would like to share! I really hope they help you become a better developer and writer!

Tip Number 1 (Be Honest)

If you are a bad developer, well, don't pretend to be a pro. You don't have to write an article named "I am a bad dev." because well, that's silly.

You know why being honest is important? Because you're yourself when you are honest! And guess what, you are the best at being yourself.

Tip Number 2 (Use Emoji & Hooks)

Emoji's are a great way to keep our audiences hooked, but make sure not to overuse them, the same for hooks. After all, we are writing to help each other.

Try not to spam your audiences with emoji's or hooks, just one or two hooks in the introduction is enough. An emoji or two per paragraph are also recommended.

Keep your writing neat and unique, or even special, but try not to be weird. Try to hook your audience, but don't annoy them, that's the last thing anyone wants!

Tip Number 3 (Be Inclusive)

We are humans, and humans want to be part of a group. Humans want to be included, not excluded. The last thing we want is to be excluded. You want your audience to feel like they "belong".

Well, this strategy is especially easy with dev.to, because pretty much anyone using this is a developer, or at least is interested in programming or technology.

Bye World

In other words, conclusion. Hope all of you have a good day! Now close this tab and get coding!
