Good for CSS-Tricks team but Why does DigitalOcean need it in the first place? Is it some kind of purchase of real estate for future permanent advertisement of DO?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
From the headline on better.dev it says "Hey I'm Chris Sev. Here's My Courses", shouldn't it be "Here are my courses"?
From a prescriptive grammar standpoint, you're correct. From a descriptive standpoint, I'm not sure how common that contraction is, but I've heard it before and offhand it seems like it gets used in some regions. Phonologically, it makes sense that it would gain traction as it's a means of avoiding the effort of the 'ere are' vowel combination. It's an addition rather than an elision, but the underlying motivation of…

I've spent some time with Digital Ocean team members, and they're dead-set on having the best technical content on the internet. It's been a core to their growth strategy so far: - Target long-tail searches -- queries where there may not be a lot of volume but also not a lot of competition - Stand out with very good content (not just SEO filler) - Build trust with the dev community This is a time-consuming and expens…
Wow, pretty big sale! Big congrats to Chris. Interestingly, DigitalOcean has a knack for acquiring these technical dev sites, in 2019 it acquired Scotch.io[0] which was one of the better technical web development sites out there. Fun fact about Scotch, the founder (Chris Sev[1]) sold the site to DO, joined their team, and later managed to broker a deal to 301 redirect a lot of the pages to his new project Better.dev[…

He starts with "Hey I'm Chris Sev" because it's a better headline, which is defined as something that is more likely to make people read the rest of the page. (Defined specifically because I see lots of complaints here that headlines should be descriptive of the actual content, which isn't really what matters, functionally. (I get the impulse though, really.))

One could even argue that "here's" is now an accepted conjugation of "here are".
Hope they keep the site as it is, css-tricks.com has been consistently one of the best, if not the best CSS site around, to the point that I search there for a particular topic before going to general purpose search engines, and you'll frequently find Chris' original articles copypasta'd by "content marketers" anyway. I guess the big time push for CSS3 with ever-changing responsive requirements and new UI idioms of t…
Are there any similar websites but for web development in general (not just CSS)? Because this one is amazing! The insane amount of SEO spam articles you get whenever you look for guides/examples on Google makes it almost impossible to rely on just searching on Google when you need it. So I'm finding myself having to go back to looking for curated lists of quality websites...

There is a lot of good stuff published that's hard to find. I wish I had a better catch all resource page.
Codepen.io is a good playground to play around with html/css/javascript and it has some javascript frameworkstuff too.
A lot of people put together good content. It seems to surface though blogs and twitter. Some links/papers we used (without the CSShints pages). A lot of them have more content if you explore.

This is part of a broader trend. Last year, Balaji Srinivasan tweeted about the idea of SaaS companies buying media companies – https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1374363031417753609 – and as an observer/operator in this space, I've heard about a lot of conversations going on behind the scenes with larger companies expressing an interest in smaller media companies (including my own - I value autonomy too much but for…
