Contrary to the naysayers, I like seeing stuff like this. Why? Because it's a simple, gentle introduction. It's easily digestible for the newcomer. And it might be easy enough to encourage a newcomer to start building their own VM that goes on to be something real.

For those that criticize it and find faults with it -- I'm sure the author would consider pull requests. Or you could provide your own fork with all the improvements that you believe are necessary.

Calling people who criticize that blog post "naysayers" is childish, at best. Once something is out there on the web it's going to get some criticism, that's normal.There is nothing wrong with that.

The question (and OP made that clear) is how you criticize. Trolling is not the right way, I believe.

Cosplaying Captain Obvious neither.
