This would be a way better article if they kept the "ZOMG WE ARE SO AWESOME" and "WOW, WE INVENTED IT ALL" tone out..

I didn't get that tone. Just curious, do you have an issue with Google?

[fs111 → bitmapbrother]

no, just allergic to blog posts full of fluffy tech-marketing speak. Why not, "hey we made something that works for us, come check it out." instead of "that hot new thing you have over there? we had that for a decade b/c we are sooo smart."

Perhaps the 2015 ONS talk, on which the blog is based upon, will help.

They explicitly spell out how impressive their own stats were and how they were doing SDN before anyone else. How did you not get that tone?
