Excellent article Shreyansh Pandey 👏

I prefer Hashnode over other online communities too! I think it's high time active Hashnode users should come out and promote Hashnode. :)

Great post! And I'm not just saying that because of:

refreshing the Home Page to see if I had any notifications and seeing people actually liked what I wrote was (and, rest assured, still is) the most exhilarating feeling in the world.

Which is "pfftahaha" if I've ever read it (good thing). I just recently crash-landed on planet Hashnode. No clue how I found this place even though it was like last month... But yet, here I am, and I keep coming back. Gotta get my fix! Um.

/me scratches neck incessantly

We have like minds on this place for sure. Not to get all soft, but the limited reactions in the community that I've had so far were a lot more inviting than the sort of interactions you get to have on (e.g.) Stack Exchange or reddit, or even Discord (or IRC, Slack, Gitter, Rocket.Chat, Matrix, Telegram, ..., IRC + n), where n is the number of people who've finally figured out how to make heavy things move quickly on the ground with minimal effort. Forgot what it's called, but that's a good idea... I should take notes.

Weird tangent, holy what. But Discord has long since held the title of "best on-demand camaraderie" in my life as a strange internet person, the successor to reddit and co-piloting my digital social life with Discord as the two formats complement nicely. Very conducive to a sort of Goldilocks breed of interaction, and I have been more focused on my own pet projects than usual since it's dev-centric and keeps my mind on the things I... ought to... have on... my mind. Neat. Anyway, time for work. Kudos 🍌

Shreyansh Pandey you are absolutely right. I remember receiving the hashnode goodies back in 2016. Coming from devmag to hashnode

I still check in once in a while, hardly get time to write articles anymore :-)
