> People learn things every day, acting like it's "slow" or you are better than them is a very toxic elitist point of view that is better off not said.

You must've misunderstood me. I don't have any problem at all with people discovering things late. I am often a slow learner myself. What irritates me is when people make spectacular "discoveries" with tacky headlines. If the article were written in a bit more casual and technical tone, I'd be happy, much more so than with this "let me re-introduce you this amazing but forgotten lore you don't know about" nonsense...

> And besides, very rarely is something in life a complete upgrade. Make is nice, but it has some very real pain-points

I agree, but that's all the more reason to not make such "discoveries" ...
