Let's jump straight in, you don't need an introduction with a listicle.

Wow great post! This compilation is awesome! thanks for this π
Thanks, those are some super great points, I will be sure to release the same post in a few months but with those two points added so it can be an "Updated for 2022" post!
Crap, I broke another rule, I actually responded to you properly instead of just saying:
"thanks for reading".
My apologies!
yes, 157 is a prime number!
Thinking about it...how can I possibly listen to your advice, you always use 100 which has far too many factors...and you actually create things instead of copy pasting...that takes waaaaay too much effort.....learn the ways of the listicle! π€£π€£π€£
Crap did it again...I meant to say:
"Thanks for reading"
I will learn eventually!
well, I am still new to this community so I don't have enough experience to try listicle π and copying/pasting always break the formating and it takes time to rectify ... until I get used, I have to write my own things π
I actually did LOL at that. I don't do that often but for some reason this comment tickled me!
"Thanks for reading"
The dev.to home feed image is doctored...it isn't that bad ππ€£
Plus apologies I wrote another sh*t post after saying I wouldn't. I have been working on an article for ages that is gigantic and it is taking forever (which is probably what made me write a sarcastic piece on listicles as I am wishing I had written one instead π€£), just wanted to put some silly content out to make you all smile this weekend.
Next post will be a proper one as I am almost done, it is titled "the ultimate image solution" and will cover the most optimal image solution I could make with some new techniques I haven't seen before (and no that isn't me being clickbaity, I really have invented a couple of new techniques to counter Layout Shift and image size optimisation!).
p.s. no hate against people who write listicles, I am just being silly, there is in fact skill in writing a good listicle, this post just pokes fun at the poor / low effort ones!

Hey Neha, glad you popped by. I have loads of your articles queued up to read (just been a hectic week), your own version of the "accessibility rants" looked interesting. I look forward to reading that and the other posts you made as you really seem to have stepped up the content output!
You inspired me to start the 'rant' series. So, all credits to you (on the same note, I will update my credit section in the blog).
Take your time to review. As usual, waiting for your feedback eagerly.
Take care
Cool article full of good advices!! Can't wait to test them as soon as possible π€© π€© π π
@afif , @madsstoumann damn you both, I just had to create a second instalment after your suggestions, any more I have missed before I pad everything out? π€£:

Point 1 is just for you guys π
Thereβs also the β[framework or css-feature] is awesomeβ-posts!
Oh that is going in as an example!
don't released it too soon. People need a few times to forget the first one so they get amazed with your new "innovative" listicle.
Ah good point, I will add that to the article / add it to a section as that is sage advice!
Yeah, is a curse of modern development articles websites. First Medium ended up in this, now Dev is there too, very few articles are actually original, well-written and worth reading.
It is just a natural part of success, you get popular and you are bound to get the low quality posts as well as the good ones.
Plus it lets us all poke a little bit of fun every once in a while! π
Sorry I meant βthanks for readingβ

"Thanks for Reading"
Iβll go for the clickbait-approach: βI thought I knew JavaScript until I read this. You wonβt believe what happened next!β
Excellent point and your click bait skills are on point! ππ€£
I think between you and Temani I can make a whole new article! ππ
βThanks for readingβ
Great and provocative article!
I need more like this.

etc..
FAANG? Don't you mean FANIMAGNET? π
Glad you enjoyed the article, I have too much silliness in me at the moment.
"Thanks for Reading"
This should be reposted every other day
βThank you for readingβ
BRB. Copying and pasting this post for my own listicle.....
Finally someone has taken the advice! πππ

Fun fact: The post with the most reactions on DEV is a listicle, and a well written one at that.
Well of course it is, people love listicles as their attention span has been eroded by social media etc. however they should have done 11 projects for even more views so they had a prime number! ππ€£
Obviously I am poking fun at the low / no effort posts which are just links or one line copied from the home page.
π aight I wont spoil it
Hehe.
βThanks for readingβ
