I may very well be an old curmudgeon but am I the only one who doesn't like all this comic-y cutesy content? They seem to be a rebranded version of the old `Idiot's guide to X` which were ubiquitous in the '90s. Yes, I'm also talking about stuff like `Clojure for the brave and true` or `Learn you a X for the greater good`. Does anyone actually benefit from this content? I look at it and it seems to be targeted to 10 year olds. Are we as an industry getting dumber?

For this specific subject, instead of reading about the `adventures of Certificat, Browserbird, and Compugter` can we just read something like https://hpbn.co/transport-layer-security-tls/ ?
