I'm starting to realize that this article was probably written by generative AI. The evidence is the rate of new articles by this particular Medium account [1]. The author has posted whooping eight articles within last 24 hours, and about 80 articles within a week. Is it humanly possible? Yes, but only with multiple authors and there is no indication of the existence of such authors. This is also possibly why the "latest" versions were not actually latest at the presumed time point. Not only a bs, but probably a generative bs.
