Great post buddy!
I realized that I don't put a TOC on my articles either because... 🤷‍♂️
That auto-generated console.log TOC is awesome!!!
I also started thinking that I should only write super posts but I tend to end up rambling a lot so now I'm moving towards single posts, I'm also thinking about making series but then it would just be 2 semi-long posts lol 😅

As an author I lean on the series. As a reader sometimes, I think just give it all to me in one so I don't have to dig. Depends on how tightly coupled the articles are. Mostly I enjoy reading concise thought out posts that gave good headings and get to the point.

This is the first time I have ever put a TOC in an article. As a reader I kinda blow by them and the feel like a waste of space, but I think other people appreciate them more than i do. I also like the point someone brought up about resuming a long article from a given point.
