This is a safe place where you can discuss your ongoing projects, write blog posts about up-and-coming trends in software development, share what you’ve learned with the rest of community, get career advice from fellow developers, and provide feedback to others in a non-toxic, friendly environment. Hashnode co-founders, Fazle and Sandeep, have known each other and been best friends for over 10 years. One day, they asked an open-ended question in one of the online dev communities they loved and participated in. While they were waiting for someone to help them out and give some advice, they received a ban because open-ended questions weren’t allowed. Needles to say, neither of them saw that coming.
