TL;DR

Every developer builds their own map of the internet over time, a mental list of tabs that stay open and URLs typed from memory. Stack Overflow pulls you out of blockers, MDN Web Docs keeps your syntax honest, and sites like CSS-Tricks or JavaScript.info fill the gaps that formal education never covered. But beyond the classics, there's a whole ecosystem of communities, tools, and references worth knowing, from Can I Use for browser compatibility checks to Hacker News for staying sharp on what the industry is actually talking about. Which sites genuinely earn a place in your daily workflow? Rank them and see where your picks land against the rest of the community.

FAQ

What is a tier list?

A tier list is a ranking system that groups items into labeled tiers (typically S, A, B, C, D, F) based on their relative strength, quality, or preference. Tier lists are widely used to rank characters, weapons, songs, movies, games, and any topic where comparison matters.

How do I play "Websites Every Developer Should Know"?

Drag and drop items from the pool into your preferred tier rows. You can move items between tiers freely until you are satisfied with your ranking. Once finished, save your result to share it with the community, generate a breakdown, or compare your picks with other players on GOATY.

Can I share my results?

Yes. After completing a tier list, you can download your result as an image or share it online. To create a public result link, sign in and make the result public so anyone can open it.
