I updated my post to clarify what was meant as a parody and what wasn't, and that I respect people sharing value in the posts, even if I'd prefer a more informative and less blatant narrative style. So I added more specific details about the aspects that I don't find helpful. I also added Eric Allam's post which inspired me to release mine ahead of its schedule.

I have actively avoided these types of articles from medium and dev.to for the past year or so.

I do still find joy when a good article pops up in my feed every now and then.
Also, thank you for this post :)
