I have a hard time reading anything on dev.to TBH, I find it's way too pop-culture-unicorns-everywhere for how pragmatic programming is (should be?) in its essense
Was in the same boat about Django online. The current community forum is pretty good, and I'm also subscribed to Django News for the regular updates. Really good resource. https://django-news.com/
Edit: And the Django Chat podcast is really good too
Like if webdev is nodejs only. I struggle to find anything good about django :/
