the real problem is that beginner oriented content is whats in top demand. I've written some advanced articles in the past on how to use more obscure locks and stored procedures in postgres in the past. it paled in popularity compared to random javascript content that only newbies wouldn't know. people are voting. just not for anything substantive.

That’s definitely tricky. When I have an issue like that, Google it, and find an article like you’re talking about, that’s awesome and I’m always so happy that someone took the time to write it. But I’m probably not going to read it until I need it, and if I did I probably wouldn’t have the context to appreciate it.
