As a mini-blog, it is a nice alternative for Medium to publish and share information about programming.
However, the community and the organization are biased toward social justice (and they are open to it). You can read its Code of Conduct, it is so vague and politically leads (I prefer a term of service because it defines fair rules for everybody). So it alienates developers that we don't care about politics in pro of people that want to talk about any other topic such as sexuality, how women are unprivileged, and such. It even mandates to use inclusive language. Good grief.
My main complaint is the quality of the community. It is not StackOverflow (so we don't want to ask for an answer here), and most of the top topics are clickbait, such as "how to become a rockstar developer in ... days", "100 tips to become a better programmer" (and it doesn't even talk about programming).
Technically this "mini blog" site allows us to use markdown, and it is okay. However, the whole experience is really basic. Even the template is ugly.

If it finds a cookie, it will send the encrypted cookie data along with the URL to dev.to's server. - Source: dev.to / 13 days ago

Start small - You don't have to create your own blog from the beginning. Find a website with a low barrier to entry for your first post. There are plenty of sites out there like dev.to, hashnode, and Medium that let you get started for free. Get comfortable with the process and your writing skills before you go out and cross-post your content everywhere. - Source: dev.to / 30 days ago
My new post -- I don't mean to do cross promotion. I do apologise if this is too rude. This post would be hard to follow on https://dev.to as I'm referencing line numbers in codes -- which https://dev.to does not currently support. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago
