I get the complaint kind of. But this articles example doesn't really feel right to me. I'd like to see the author pull off this project on his own 10 years ago. Not sure it's even possible. He'd be spending years writing some of this from scratch. Instead he finished it, figured it out with time left to write a blog post about it.
