Would you mind expanding on what you mean by ‘dark developer’? I could guess from context but Id appreciate your definition if you dont mind.

90% sure it's "dark matter developers" as in "they never write blogs, they don't go to user groups, they don't tweet or facebook, and you don't often see them at large conferences." - https://www.hanselman.com/blog/dark-matter-developers-the-un...
Yeah, that's true. I have a blog, and share the code & docs I write for myself, but my blog is not about programming, and the docs are more like cheat sheets for general public.

Well, the code is just GPLv3 licensed small tools which I develop according to my own needs. Nothing impressive.

I don't use Twitter, Facebook and Reddit anymore. I just converse here, and with a Discord server I really like.
