The thinking at the time was: how can someone under the age of 35 ever have enough accomplishments to be elected president? They believed that would only happen if they were the child of a famous person or former president.

The Constitution was largely written as a departure from the monarchical British system. By not allowing presidential candidates younger than 35, this would prevent hereditary transmission of the presidency. Past 35, a candidate is more likely to stand on their own merits rather than their family or connections.

What are the graph representations that are used at larger scales? They're not adjacency lists at bottom? Can you point toward some resources to read up on?

Always getting up to trouble, that rascal.

I've noticed this is an unfortunately common trope on HN.

"If they actually cared about X, they'd Y!"

I think what you mean to say is: "If they really cared about X, and only X, and had no political/financial/strategic impediments, they'd do Y! Therefore they clearly don't care about X."

Let's not have the perfect be the enemy of the good. This is a good thing, let's encourage more of it, yeah?

Thanks for pointing this out. I assume because he pushed the fix that he was the developer, my mistake! Have amended the article.
