The author was open about both how little they know and how these articles are about their learning. Sorry bud, but if you read that disclaimer at the beginning, read the whole article and still have this complaint, I have zero sympathy for you.

They warned you in advance. Why shit on them?

You're right, I forgot about the first paragraph by the end, my bad. Still this is shared and people are reading it, so it is colouring people's view in a disappointing way. Communications have an impact on the world and people should take responsibility for what they say

That’s true, but none of us emerge from the womb fully formed and ready to go. We all learn and grow. I’d 100% understand and agree with you if they tried to pass themselves off as an expert and published this article. But I respect people for having the modesty and respect to admit they’re just learning and like to file their contributions away accordingly. Heck, admitting you don’t know things is the first step to learning and learning is one of the best ways we can all make the world a slightly better place.

I wouldnt be able to write anything if I worried too much about regretting what I wrote, so I agree

> They warned you in advance. Why shit on them?

The author's insulting clickbaiting headline does them no favors. If the author knows so little, maybe they shouldn't be telling people they're thinking wrong.
