You're 100% correct that the target audience of this isn't HN readers. Having worked in this space for a number of years and having written this same fluff article in 2020, this type of content is marketed directly to engineering managers and VP types who are looking for solutions to issues around their SDLC or developer productivity.

The technical implementation part can be interesting to readers and potential engineers who will use the platform and is worthwhile to have available, but this content is purely meant to cast a wide net.
