Where do you go for help?
Growing is a continuous journey – even the most seasoned developers are constantly looking for ways to improve their craft. However, it’s often tempting to fall into the comfort of working in our own bubbles, becoming tunnel-visioned in our endeavours. Exposing ourselves to others’ ideas not only gives us fresh perspectives on our work, but can also help us improve our own technical skillsets as well.
There are so many benefits to checking out online developer communities. From tutorials and open-source content to active forums, these communities are great resources for developers to strengthen their code and engage with their peers.
We asked our team members which online developer communities they turn to for tutorials, forums, and overall industry news. Check out their suggestions below:
