After a brief description in my previous post explaining why the .NET Developers Poland group was created, it’s now time to share some essential rules that every member should respect.
Why Have Rules?
At first, I considered running the group without any formal rules. But over time, it became clear that some structure is necessary.
Take this example: if you’re posting a link to your application, you must also include a link to its source code. Why? Because it adds real value to the community. If your work is good, others will want to learn from it. And this rule helps filter out spammy links to closed, corporate products with no benefit to the group.
The rules aren’t set in stone—they’ll evolve as the group grows and our needs change.
Who’s Welcome?
The group is open to anyone who writes code, regardless of the programming language. Diversity of thought and experience is incredibly valuable. Different backgrounds lead to creative solutions and fresh perspectives.
Both experienced developers and beginners are welcome. Everyone starts somewhere, and this is a place where tough beginner questions can get answers—sometimes within minutes. Don’t be afraid to ask.
Lately, a new type of discussion has emerged in the group — conversations about us, the developers. More social, introspective topics. I didn’t plan for this shift, but it seems to be a natural evolution—and a healthy one.
Why No Job Offers?
The short answer: because there’s a dedicated space for that - .NET Developers Poland Job Market… but… this group was created recently as an output of several discussions in the main group and as a result of chatting with people willing to post a job offer and rules are preventing that…
Initially, I wanted to keep job offers out entirely. They tend to dilute the feed with posts that don’t offer intellectual value. I envisioned this group as a place where every post is worth reading and learning from.
But after several conversations with members and recruiters, we found a solution: we created a separate group for job-related content. If you’re a recruiter or hiring manager, feel free to post your job offer there.
Just remember to include the salary range 😉
