the kind of engineer who has been Salesified to the point that they write such drivel as "these learnings" instead of "lessons" in an article that allegedly has a technical audience.

it's funny because as I have gotten better as a dev I've gone backwards through his progression. when I was less experienced I relied on Google; now, just read the docs
