One of the best posts I've read on dev.to in quite a while 👏 I appreciate your perspective and candid description of how you go about navigating promotion.
Your section on meta creation put a name to the issue of the vast amount of low tier content that simply regurgitates the same information. It's very tempting to do as the ROI on those creations is quite good. I'm guilty of making posts like this in the past. At the time it seemed helpful, but dev.to has seen such an increase in meta content that I rarely check in any more.
Even though it takes a much larger commitment, creating a new piece is far more impactful for those who stand to benefit, even if that is a smaller audience.
I look forward into diving into your other works, past and future. ☕
