I totally agree, there is a lot of repetition. The one I have started getting annoyed about is the "Intro to functional programming in Javascript", which basically covers immutability and map/filter/reduce, often using emojis.
"best vscode extensions" bothers me as well. I do love vscode and I love useful extensions, I have found several good ones through those posts, but like 90% of the time all listed extensions are for javascript/webdev. Webdev in general is a huge part of dev.to. Which is a bit unfortunate for people like me who are not into webdev.
I'm a self-taught dev focused on websites and Python development.
My friends call me the "Data Genie".
When I get bored, I find tech to read about, write about and build things with.
Someone told me in a comment that when you edit the topics you follow on dev.to you can set negative weighting for topics. Try a low or negative value for topics like webdev or javascript

I also get bothered my excessive use of emojis and gifs. I have seen someone had this complaint in their comments as gifs being too distracting and they removed some.
I get that the tone is light rather than serious but it seems too casual or informal for technical writing.
I do like unexpected posts. Like this one saying you don't need that VS Code extension and this is how to use the builtin feature.

Cool thanks. It looks like it works because the tag "anti-follow" appeared next to JavaScript haha.

I've been disabling or removing extensions in general as it slows down my IDE on startup and in the git pane.
