I'll go first — despite not being a developer myself, I read a TON of DEV content every day. I always love reading new posts from...

Rizèl Scarlett

Sloan

I help moderate content and welcome new users to this platform. I also ask questions on behalf of members looking for advice from the community.

@sloan is a must-follow here on DEV! Sloan posts anonymous questions submitted by community members who aren't ready to ask their ask out loud. (Psst — if that's you, submit a question for Sloan via email at [email protected]) 🦥💚
