I had trouble getting past the Early Modern English tinge of the language used in this. It’s fun, but it distracts from the comprehension in attempt to just sound epic. It’s fine if you’re writing literature, but it comes off sounding uppity in a practical doc for devs. Writing is not just about conveying something in a mood you wish to set. Study how Richard Feynman and Warren Buffett communicated to their audiences; part of their success is that they speak to their people in the language all can easily understand.

Feynman at the 1965 Nobel banquet: “Each joy, though transient thrill, repeated in so many places amounts to a considerable sum of human happiness. And, each note of affection released thus one upon another has permitted me to realize a depth of love for my friends and acquaintances, which I had never felt so poignantly before.”
