"But, some of them, like this one, leave me feeling a bit disheartened."
I think this is a common reaction. Look, he basically starts these articles by saying you're going to be disheartened by this.
For some reason, this makes a lot of people want to find a way to A) not have to learn the stuff that they feel disheartened for not knowing; and B) not feel disheartened.
Nobody is saying that you have to learn this stuff to make Steve happy. But I think there's a reason that you feel disheartened for not knowing it. Deep down, you know that you really should learn something about it. And that's why you feel disheartened. That's a good sign!
But I don't think there are any shortcuts to making that feeling go away.
