Interesting post but the format is broken on mobile devices. It cuts off sentences on the right.

You and er, Madison, right? This article is riddled with generalisations, oversimplifications and many comments that are vague to the point of being almost misleading - or certainly of limited value given the lack of context. This is the level of technical article I increasingly encounter out there these days... In a way I suppose it's good in that we all have to fall back on reputable sources again rather than be tempted to hit a search engine where we will this sort of traffic-generating, borderline chatgpt, cut'n'paste salad, complete with occasional chirpy "WAL is a gamechanger!" sorts of comments. And a 'deep-dive'? Sheesh. Anyone looking for a reasonably deep dive - and the first encouraging sign you might notice is that it's >1500 words - could do a lot worse than go here...
