I owe you an apology. I saw templating and what looks like string concatenation in the first example, referencing unfamiliar APIs in an ecosystem I don’t keep up with. I found that alarming but didn’t dig deep enough to really understand the way that templating is applied. I’m sorry, that was a knee-jerk reaction and not a helpful contribution to discussion.

No worries, thank you for taking the time to write this comment. I must agree that this article is talking about a niche and surrounding ecosystem that may not be familiar to many readers. I try to write the articles in a way that is approachable to people who do not work in data analytics, but there is certainly a lot more I could do, especially for this article. It's a difficult tradeoff of making it accessible but also digging deep enough for those who have some familiarity. I probably get it wrong more than I get it right. Anyways thank you for your thoughtful feedback and have a great day.

FWIW, when I came back and read further, I thought you did quite well making it accessible. It’s not your fault I quickly formed a knee-jerk opinion!
