Sounds like you posted this comment after only reading that example at the beginning. Did you read the rest of the article? What were your thoughts at the end of it?


Correct. There's about 19 billion opinionated articles on the internet. If I start one off and it seems immediately wrong, I'm not going to take the time to read the entire essay. You have to have some kind of filtering heuristic for content.


You'll take the time to leave a comment, though. And engage in follow-up discussion, apparently.

It's not a long read and it has some useful content (that I mostly agree with) despite having a bunch of minor mistakes. I noticed them too, but instead of loudly dismissing the entire thing on a public forum my first instinct was to look for a repo so I could send a pull request (sadly I didn't find one).
