This! Since it became easier for people to post their thoughts on a problem vs. research and learn from past work, we're now in the era where its harder to find the seminal and really-well-explained material for having to wade through years and years of people's rediscovery blogs.

(Don't get me wrong; I too think the article is great; just wish all the folks who went to JS bootcamp and are amazed by this would have cracked any CS or OS text book written since the late 60's and browsed a few chapters.)
