  You've been downvoted or whatever that is called here. But you're right. I know all about that shit. I know more than most people have forgotten. But it's not something everyone needs to know. I can't even use my skills in a world where everyone needs a "full stack developer" but people keep pretending they're the person who does the interviews and (not pretending) treats them as an autistic "better than you" contest.

    Sorry if you found the title condescending. In the intro section I also admit that I was ignorant about the whole gamma topic a few weeks ago. But I think it's an important topic, hence the title. Of course, 10 different people have 10 different opinions about what other people "should know". But this is a personal blog, and this is my personal opinion :) I guess you can't please everyone.

  If you don't code around gamma then don't bother reading? I mean it says in the title, right there "about gamma", I don't see how that's drawing anyone else but the intended audience. I don't even deal in the article's subject matter but still found it interesting, informative, and well written; I think the condescending intent is coming entirely from you.
