It doesn't need to be a choice between your own site or dev. You can cross post to both.
Also there are dev users who will read posts about evolutionary algorithms, deep learning, etc. It does seem like there are significantly more beginner users so you might keep that in mind if you write posts about your masters thesis research. But it can be good practice conveying your work to a range of audiences with varying background.

Yeah that's definitely true. The more I think about it the more I realize I'm probably just overhinking it and just need to give it a go.
Thank you for the advice!
