I'm a full-stack Software Engineer and Architect. I specialise in front-end niceness, but my daily tasks are mostly about making server less work well and scale within our suit of micro services!
Think aobut why you're writing. Is it to inform? What are you adding to the body of knowledge on dev.to? Are you writing an opinion piece? Are you writing to help guide someone through some difficulty you had? Are you writing to make someone aware of an approach to a problem that you thought was novel, unique, performant or just interesting? Do you need help with a problem?
If the answer to any of these is yes, it's probably a good idea to get writing -- people might be interested in reading what you've got to say!
If you're writing to just promote yourself via click-bait - whethere it's just to be 'visibile', or promote your library... consider why. This isn't a marketing channel, whether you like it or not. And every single content marketing fluff piece you put on here degrades the quality and experience for everyone else. And it take dev.to one step closer to be like Medium, and not like its own, joyful place to talk about software development and engineering.
Just my two cents :P
