Because stories like this sell to even the lowest audience target: the lazy but dream big ones.

No matter how dumbed-down the tone, for me behind it always lies a figured out person doing smt that is definitely cool from the start.

More than just selling to the lazy ones, it protects itself from being criticised by the competent ones. (You end your concern w an agreeing sentence: the point is valid). (It can do this because it's written by a cool guy sharing cool stuff).

What i take from a story like this is that it's not abt CS, not abt woolf. It's basically: "how to become a perfect painter? Become a perfect person, then paint naturally"
