The article is very painful to read, it uses an annoying pattern that I see often in blog posts and other forms of writing. The author keeps saying it will address a given topic in a short while, repeatedly. When he finally does, the main topic is addressed in only a few lines.
When I write something I think what I want to convey and how to best do it; most of the time this only means laying the various topics in a logical, bottom-up fashion, so that a given topic is brought up just when it needs to, it isn't announced before. If you find yourself writing things like "we'll come to this in a while" or "as I'll show in the next section" you should probably reconsider the structure of the whole thing and start again.
