Growing Devs

Growing Devs is a shared space for a group of developers who wish to write about their work without the isolation that comes with a solo blog, or the constraints of writing only for the company you work for. Here you'll find content about the technology, techniques, and process the authors are using.

Benefits

• Our topics can be polyglot, without language restriction
• The format helps motivate the people involved to write
• Becomes a resource in its own right
• Shared readership
• Combined pagerank
• Shared promotion within the group
