Is this parody? > Creating a blog from scratch requires quite a lot. Quite a lot of what? If I want to create a blog then there are many existing systems that are essentially plug and play. Perhaps this is an article teaching me about composable whatevers, but I'm not sure this is a great example, or even if it is perhaps a different tone could have helped set the scene. Nobody in their right mind would want to build a blog this way in the real world, I hope.

Yeah I think it's an article about "components". As far as I can tell the product is essentially a component library that treats components as completely standalone, so that they can be developed and versioned independently. I agree building a blog isn't a great example. They were off to a bad start by saying it's hard to create a blog. Then they introduce a solution that seems to require existing knowledge of - "forking" - Typescript - React - components and props - MDX - The Bit platform I feel like if you know all this stuff then you aren't going to have a problem building a blog. And I feel like I could swap "The Bit platform" for Material UI or whatever and by the end of the post I'd be in the same place: not having a working blog :D
