It's from memory so I apologize if it's really harsh. I was a child at the time and honestly, it has turned out to be ... well good advice.

Would you like to elaborate through an article or in this comment? The developer was autistic so I'm curious where you see a break in the logic? Additionally, so I completely understand how I should proceed here, could you provide your recommendation for hashtags for this article please and thank you --> [theblog.loptrlab.com/creating-opportunities-via-o…](https://theblog.loptrlab.com/creating-opportunities-via-open-source) [Maxi Contieri](https://hashnode.com/@mcsee) [Dec 23, 2020](https://hashnode.com/posts/10-invaluable-tips-for-successful-tech-articles/5fb33d429f9a5659bcfe3299/comment/5fe135f35620145ec6e3a22c#reply-5fe3601bddcb940a6d28c9ac) [Dominique Devereaux](https://hashnode.com/@ibloud) Hi don't make recommendations on Tags. Watch your candidate tags articles and see if they are related to your article. I just keep up with the #programming tag, and as you might read on the above article, it is a hard job because things are not black or white, so I try to do my best.

It's nice to first read about what the guts of the article is about. [Maxi Contieri](https://hashnode.com/@mcsee) [Nov 20, 2020](https://hashnode.com/posts/10-invaluable-tips-for-successful-tech-articles/5fb33d429f9a5659bcfe3299/comment/5fb7d428ba1e08716c77f61f#reply-5fb7dbeb08ea5d7167d71801) Hi [Paddy McCarthy](https://hashnode.com/@Paddy3118)! I'm not pretty certain about your point. You mean I missed the 'abstract' section? If this is the question is the first line. _I'm a developer learning to write technical articles. This is my journey._ It is a technical article. I published some scientific papers, so I might be biased of the 'abstract' meaning (which this article lacks on purpose). I'm open to suggestions. [Paddy McCarthy](https://hashnode.com/@Paddy3118) [Nov 20, 2020](https://hashnode.com/posts/10-invaluable-tips-for-successful-tech-articles/5fb33d429f9a5659bcfe3299/comment/5fb7d428ba1e08716c77f61f#reply-5fb7e3c10ae19203f6d91c90) It seems you have an Abstract. Maybe that should be point zero; inserted before your current first point?
