I am sorry, but when I read your articles I get a strong AI vibe.
If you used AI to to write this article you need to state that.
All your articles lack links to additional and deeper information on the topic.
Also this is a community targeting developers, as such one of the most basic editing features is syntax highlighting. These articles are not syntax highlighted. Why is that?
If an author has a deep understanding on programming (as needed to learn and use the methods in these articles), they should be experienced enough to know that syntax highlighting and links to additional resources are basic requirements for a technical article.
On the other hand, Copy&Paste from ChatGPT would probably look like this.
I am a Frontend Developer with a strong emphasis on React and a passion for creating accessible web applications. I am dedicated to democratizing the web for all users.
I'm not the OP, so I'm not in the position to comment.
But can I just say, your comment reminded me that syntax highlighting is a thing, and so I have gone back to update my own posts to include them. Just wanted to say a big thank you! Cheers

First, wrap code in triple backticks (`) to turn them into code blocks:
Next, append the opening triple backticks with the language of your code block to add syntax highlighting (keywords are highlighted accordingly):
Reference: You can check here for a full list of languages - you want to be using the short name in the third column - typically supported. Of course, this might vary depending on the markdown implementation on dev.to, but common languages should work just fine.
I also feel the same. It's like AI-generated and not particularly helpful to me as well. Instead of copying and pasting from ChatGPT, people can add a deep understanding with relevant examples to maximize learning if they have.
If we all have access to ChatGPT, then why are people posting ChatGPT's responses here?
According to me, this platform is for developers who want to learn, share some experience, and contribute. Always provide useful information that can assist others and add value.

Is there any tutorial on how to make syntax highlighting on dev.to?
