Having just registered this account (and subsequently reading the news guidelines[1]), I feel like the title you posted clearly goes against this: "If the original title begins with a number or number + gratuitous adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids."."
However, this didn't stop me from reading the article, which honestly felt a bit condescending (this line stuck out: "And don't kid yourself that it will ever look pretty. Without a designer's input, charts have a funny way of just not going well together."). As a young developer who is constantly looking for new (or new to me) and exciting tools, this is the sort of thing that turns me away from an otherwise handy or useful tool.
