Not to get a bunch of “points” or “credits” like the other sites to gamify the experience.
No, I want real developers sharing real examples and solving real problems. Microsoft is doing that with all their developer channels these days. Last thing I want to do is launch a site where non-developers are writing posts trying to get developers to try or buy a product. Everything is about profits and pushing products through Content Marketing efforts like blogging and I don’t feel the authenticity blogging once had is as easy to detect. Also, the word Community does not mean the same thing it did when I launched Geekswithblogs. We have Github, LinkedIn, Stack Overflow, and many other ways to share content, but there is something missing. I still believe there is a place for blogs in this digital era of the 2020s, but I don’t believe I have a full picture of what it should look like.
The future of the site is now back in the hands of the original founder, Jeff Julian, and that is why you are here at Julian Farms.
