I have the following sentence,

> NAME is a community that helps each other code better by rating each other's efforts and helps managers pair with other fellow developers

I was suggested by the community that the sentence is stylistically poor because the two elements in the sentence are of different syntactic/semantic type.

Hence, I have tried to break up the sentence by producing

> NAME is a community that helps its members code better by rating each other's efforts. It also helps managers pair with other fellow developers

The issue is that I feel there is something odd there, from a writing perspective. It is intended to be a subheading, so I am trying to keep it concise.
