Very nice! I like the tone and flippant energy of the post, of course, and also the way to get a nice scope by having a concrete case of a program to implement.

I also appreciated the comparisons against STL, very informative. It's ... interesting that if including `vector` in STL brings in 27,000 lines, and the author's implementation of the functionality for the example program was only 1,000 lines, that the compilation time difference is only 4X. Not sure I understand that, really. But benchmarking is hard, of course.

If I could come with a single suggestion it would be to include the sample program's source as text, not as a picture of text. If that means losing the pretty syntax highlighting, that's fine (by me). :)
