I think this should've been two separate blog posts.

Yeah, it’s funny how all the comments so far are only talking about the over-engineering and scope creep, when the bulk of the blog was dedicated to a totally separate rant (but a good one!) on structural diffing.

Kind of hilarious though that it talks about scope creep and then transitions into a whole different long topic.

Looks like this was a newsletter by the author, not a blogpost

That makes more sense!
