Sorry, I feel bad that you had to write this. It's of course on me to learn about the linked concepts if I want to follow the post.

I was just put off from doing so because of the author's assumption that everyone in tech is on the same page when this isn't necessarily the case. Many or even most folks "in tech" give little thought to PL design, at least not in the way that would have them read that article, though influential it might have been to some folks in tech that are into these discussions 6 years ago.
