Want to know how you can provide value to this community and start unlocking all those valuable resources mentioned on the leaderboard? I've got you covered – this guide is for you. Step one is to pick a topic for your post. If you're looking for inspiration, do one of the following: 1️⃣ Share wisdom from your own experience. What key learnings have helped you level up the most in your career as a SWE? What truths have stood the test of time that others might benefit from understanding? Often drawing our own successes and failures is an easy way to provide value. You're the expert on your own journey, all you have to do is share that expertise with the community! Here's a story from my own career I posted recently. 2️⃣ Connect insights from other people's experience. Are there any books, articles, or podcasts that made an impact on you recently? Any key learnings from other disciplines that you've successfully applied to software engineering? Wisdom is valuable no matter who shares it, but don't go passing off other people's ideas as your own. You can borrow their insights in your posts, just make sure to give them credit somehow. It can be as simple as a link to the source material or mentioning them by name. Here's an example post of mine using this technique. 3️⃣ Spark an engaging discussion. This is the often the simplest method, because the real value of your post lives within people's responses, not your own content. It's like crowd-sourcing a high value post. You have two options: 👉 If you have an open-ended question and you're curious to hear other people's answers, ask it! Then provide your own response as the first comment to kickstart the conversation. Here's a discussion thread I started using this approach.
