Ditto. More broadly, I am bored by efforts to rehash the same introductory material from whatever your given technical topic is (math, programming, machine learning). There's already really good books out there on these things that have been written by masters and do a much better job than blogs like this (provided you read them properly).

To people out there writing educational blogs: do more research and find good, well written, timeless resources to point people to for the basics. Spend your energy writing something new that we haven't all already read.

You might find people doing this and not notice it. Sometimes the educational progress is formulating a thing you already know for a subset of people who will receive it more effectively in that format. Might be boring to you, might be brain exploding revelatory for someone else. Even a better articulation of something which might have helped you learn can be in that category! Keep in mind you’re judging education of material you already know.
