I'm considering this approach, but I'm worried about SEO. How do I let Google know this isn't duplicate content? I could be stealing articles from anyone's blog.

When you post there is an option to fill a field "canonical" where you just paste the URL to the original content on your site.

Dev.to will generate the corresponding tag on the HTML, indicating to google it is a repost from somewhere else, not a duplicate.
