I don't understand what you mean: a blog post was published on the 10th, you saw a link to it twice today, so "everyone" took "so long to notice"?

I'm teasing, it's just a surprisingly increasing fallacy I see: "Why is the rate at which I saw things not the rate I expect? What did They mean by this?"

Indeed, I have been noticing this form of fallacity lately too. it pops up everywhere. It seems to be related to the recent trend of boldly stating opinions about anything, without having any domain knowledge, which seem to have been popularized by a certain orange.

Well considering the amount I’m on here, Reddit, and various tech slacks seeing something like this repeatedly normally means it’s just been posted. I’m kinda wondering if they didn’t do the usual promotion.
Obviously Big Kotlin is suppressing the news.
