I strongly disagree, that forces author to spend extra time on explaining everything. That's why it's often so hard for me to find quality in-depth advanced blogs on various technologies and fields -- because they all tend to be really introductory. So there's either papers or tutorials, but nothing in-between. E.g. a different-angle explanation of the same thing, or comparison with another tech who came from that.

In contrast, I like way more a different approach on explaining (mostly see it on Cyrillic forums) -- instead of guiding you by hand, they just give you clues where to look for. That way, knowledge givers are way more approachable, because it costs them very little to chat back something like "look for CRDT", than go into in-depth explaining. In the end -- there's way more information, and from top experts in the fields.
