So many people are praising this. I want to start by saying thanks for the history, but the writing was Helter skelter, it didn't feel researched or thought through. When I finished reading, I felt the article was different from where it began.
Kudos for the thoughts, and thank you for explaining.
I'm doing basic fact-checking and if I'm not sure about something I will add something like "I think" or "I guess" etc. I'm trying to be intellectually honest (first of all with myself).
If you refer to the fullness of research, for sure I believe I missed other interesting things. I focused on things that I know. I also agree that it lacks some links to the sources. And I can explain why. This post took me about half a day (not exact number). I have limited time and a limited amount of energy to accomplish the post. If I will iron-out post I can lose interest and never publish it, so I choose to finish it as soon as it "good enough".
If writing blogs would be my job, I would spend more time on it. I would do more thorough research. I would ask friends to edit it for me. But as of now, this is a hobby. I'm doing it in between work, attempts to learn something new and personal time.
My intent is to share some ideas I have, to show perspective.
It is not a rewarding experience so far - I do not get much response to my posts (I get likes and followers), but not sure if people understood what I tried to say, do they agree or not, do they have a similar experience or not.
This is why it is what it is.
In addition to basic fact-checking, I also do basic grammatical check and if I use somebody's else material (code snippets, photos) I place a link to the author.

I will mostly agree with this (with small "but").
