> the sheer volume of "intro to ebpf" articles is becoming a bit of a mem

It's because eBPF is becoming popular now for Container or Cloud VM runtime security.

Everybody and their momma are writing these SEOed articles either to help shill products like Sysdig, Lacework, etc. Also, it is the conference/procurement time of year so the SEO is much more constant for growth hacking reasons.

Also, you'll see a lot of junior engineers and co writing these types of articles to signal to recruiters that they have the skills so they can be hired. Almost no one knows eBPF so security companies are paying some relatively obscenely high salaries in Czechia, Israel, and India for those skills because there aren't as many people with those skills here in the states.
