I'm getting old. Something so obvious that I thought everybody knew is getting reiterated in a blogpost by a younger generation encountering it for the first time.

You're certainly getting older :). You're assuming that since the author writes about something obvious, they must belong to the "younger generation" and encountered it for the first time.

Meanwhile, the author finished their PhD in 2004, and wrote 3 books about Python.
