   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.

   👍 Pros:    Free

• Cable Puller -> Bug Sniffer -> Business Builder :: My Unexpected Journey

  Cary On I would be lying if I said I am happy with how this post is ending but I know this isn't the end. Despite my disappointment I know I am going to keep trying. At the beginning of this post I was confidence (and maybe a bit unreasonably so) that I was going to be ending this with announcing that I got my client but that isn't what happened. With that said I now see that part of my story to tell is one of... - Source: dev.to / 7 days ago

• Staying logged in/remembering cookies in specific containers only?

  Hi, I have recently added a few exceptions to cookie auto-deletion, e.g. To ensure my email provider (fastmail.com) remains logged in. However, for other parties who I do not trust, such as Google, I don't want to remember cookies 99% of the time. Source: 11 months ago

• Domains and Email hosting

  Used to use MXRoute but noticed emails to Gmail and other providers were not getting through. Switched over to Fastmail highly recommend it. Source: 12 months ago

• Chrome extension for managing your masked emails is now available!

  I too use a catchall address... And I'm always disappointed when Fastmail doesn't take all of the addresses that I get email sent to, and turn them into masked emails automatically! I guess masked emails are for people who dont have a custom domain and want to use their fastmail.com address, with some kind of email forwarding. Source: about 1 year ago

• Looking to change hosting services, forget $5 fees!

  I'm personally partial to fastmail.com for a conventional business email provider that respects privacy and has a common sense 'good enough' configuration for the vast majority of small businesses. Source: about 1 year ago
