I wish more people produced content like the ones they've mentioned (about an interesting, current topic, with their own take).
Your example is extremely obvious: I don’t know what a DAW UI is and it isn’t explained in the first sentences of the page and I don’t really bother to put more time into finding out. It doesn’t matter how in-depth the article is if it doesn’t resonate at all with most average HN users.
That article does look great — gave it an upvote if it helps.
