This isn't a random blog post and the techniques in the blog are actually used by the standard library and some pretty major C++ libraries such as range-v3 and fmtlib.

The author of the blog post is in fact one of the authors of fmtlib.

Getting libraries to play nicely with ADL is actually a huge pain in the ass and in fact the three major C++ compilers don't agree with one another on how to actually perform name lookup in a large number of cases.

Don’t waste too much time trying to convince the commentor, as they have a history of accusing people of “spewing noise” in threads about C++.
