Usually I expect an eng blog post to be a recruitment vehicle, wherein the authors articulate a really hard problem they solved, or some novel approach they took, or the cool new open source project they released (for their future SaaS play).

But this is so mundane it bothers me in a way I find surprising. It's more about how they made some questionable choices in the past and how they finally paid off that technical debt. Is it interesting? Perhaps I am just getting old and jaded.

What I find odd is how light TFA is on actual details as to what it is they shipped.

This is the kind of thing I'd ship internally to the org as part of a weekly update or something, but not what I'd expect on a public-facing corporate blog.
