# Reaching first 100 followers on Dev First of all, thanks to the Dev community for giving feedback on my posts and appreciating my content. ## How it started I always had a thing for writing. I had been writing [Medium blogs](https://medium.com/@anshuman-bhardwaj) about my travel for some time now. It brings me joy to share and express myself through words. During my college, I made a [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9-rIQbbBVxJyTIWPdhK4YA) and posted tutorials about CPU simulators & assembly programming. It made me realize that I love to teach. Last December, when I checked, my channel reached 300 subscribers, and I thought, let's continue doing what I like. I thought this year let me start contributing to the Dev Community and resume making YouTube videos. So during this New Year's long weekend, I re-branded my YouTube channel and created a Dev account. I've posted two articles on Dev and received more than 2k views with 150+ reactions and gained 100+ followers. ## Where it's headed I've been a developer for four years now. Although I have a CS degree, I consider myself a self-taught engineer. I've grown so much in my career that at the age of 22, I'm an Eng. manager with five direct reports. I feel my experience will be a lot helpful for the community. I plan to continue writing and making videos at least once per week. It would be an achievement to keep this going for a year. ## Goals 1. Improve my writing and speaking skills. 2. Create content that I can be proud of 3. Deliver one Dev post and a YouTube video per week. 4. Earn the 4/8/16 week streak badges from Dev. --- I hope this post was helpful to you.
