I think bloggers deserve some leeway in how they write; it's an informal medium and maybe the author's usual audience is arriving with a lot of shared assumptions.

Still, I wish IPFS had been defined within the post. I had to look it up on Wikipedia; presumably it's "Interplanetary File System".

Yes, it occurred to me that his audience already had a background in IPFS and I wasn't his prospective audience; yet, then why craft the title to seem like it was meant for people who have no idea what IPFS is, because surely those with prior knowledge of it, would already be able to answer for themselves "Why... IPFS?"

I think my main problem with this blog post, and many others, is that they come off too "stream of consciousness," instead of something more structured, and easily-digestable.

It's obvious the author can write[0], but at risk of being presumptuous, it seems like it was hastily written and submitted to HN for the sole purpose of generating traffic.
