Another thing not worth investing time into for the rest of our careers. TCP will be around for decades to come.

True! And chances are, if you're developing website software or video game software, you'll never think about these sorts of things, it'll just be a dumb pipe for you, still.

And that's okay!

But there are other sorts of computer people than website writers and business application devs, and they're some of the people this would be interesting for!

Wrong. I've experienced most of the complaints in the paper when developing multiplayer video games. These days I simply use websockets instead of raw TCP because it is not worth the effort and yet you still have to do manual heartbeats.
