Don't worry, it's not about you. The article is genuinely underwhelming.

It walks you up the abstraction tree to the building of higher-kinded types, but then just handwaves it with 'and now you can do a lot of things!' but doesn't show them.

It needs a final part where the flexibility is displayed. Something like 'if (debugMode) runpipeline(synchronousDebugWriter) else runpipeline(promise)'.
