Interesting! I can assure you none of the text was auto-generated. I've written before about how I don't like having text generated for me. I do use Grammarly for editing assistance when I'm writing something for work.

Appreciated, but 16+ MB of images - there was no need given ~4K of text. That's a 4,000 times bloat. Please, professional devs don't need this. Just give us the info.

  I do want code examples with the pretty dark syntax highlighting though

  I appreciate the feedback, but we may need to agree to disagree on this one :) As a professional dev, I enjoy articles with eye candy and AI-generated images, especially those with a pixel-art bent make me happy.

    Images like this can be used to break up content, but the ratio is way off. Also, the images are not full width to the content, so it creates a zig-zag noise issue when reading down the page. I would left align them, or make them full width. The images should be used to break up logical sections, but in this case they truly just look scattered randomly and just cause frustration. There is really not enough text to warrant this many (unrelated) images. The images themselves are cool though. Kinda reminds me of the way that baby snakes are more dangerous than older ones - they are not sure how to regulate their venom so they end up using too much and it is more lethal. Save some of these images for your next blog posts =) Don't shoot them all off at once.

    Professional dev does not help here. These pictures are irrelevant anyway, and an eye sore at the same time.

    Except for the first image which is a human-made schematic, the rest of the images are filler and serve almost 0 purpose. At the very least they should have been sized down to 30% of their size and have the text flow around it instead of putting so many full-width images.
