I found it interesting that they know how to use strace, but not how to list open files held by a process which to me seems simpler. Again, not criticism just an observation and I enjoyed the article
Given the "(hi Julia!)" immediately after the strace shenanigans, I interpreted this as a third-party hint; the author most likely had not used strace before.
The author is both an example of and an example for how we can get caught in "bubbles" of tools/things we know and use and don't, and blog posts like this are great for discovery (I didn't know about git invoking a binary in the path like his "git re-edit", for example, until today).
I discovered that by accident, I had a script called git-pr that opened a pull request with github using the last commit message and then pushed it to slack for approval. I was trying to rewrite it to add a description and wondered why "git pr" pushed an empty message to slack
