What was the purpose of the post? The author wrote a tedious story about listening to a podcast episode in which markdown codeblocks are mentioned and "That’s my doing".

But the rest comes off like mock humility because there really wasn't any information of relevance to anyone but the author.

Had the article been about the importance of user engagement in open source projects and then used his personal experience to underscore the point, then the article is really about raising awareness and might be something of utility to a reader. This article, however, just reads like me, me, me.
