Some commenters are upset but can't quite express why. I'll explain. The article's title is "Bracket pair colorization 10,000x faster", which implies that the previous implementation was using a slow algorithmic approach and someone made it 10k faster. Sure, the article explains the situation in detail, but the way it's laid out kinda screams (at least to me and some other people) "look at me, I'm so good that I improved the original implementation 10k times", when in reality the 10k speedup has nothing to do with algorithms but with the extension API. A more modest and fair approach would have been to name the article "Bracket pair colourization is now in core VS Code" or similar, and leave the 10k speedup as a footnote, rather than having the entire article revolve around it. It's just a matter of etiquette - it's not a situation where boasting is justified.
