I agree. In another forum someone was asking what level of competency you should be at with a language to put on the resume. Most responses were related to the language itself, but I argued it was more about the knowledge around the language. Knowing testing, tooling, packaging, and standard library is way more important than syntax. In turn, I think it's easier to write an article about syntax since its likely to be correct forever. While an article about dev life cycle is much more tied to the time at which it was written.
