For a starter, I hate been redirected out of forum to go read some article, if you're the original owner of article then post then on forum and you can add a source link at the end for reference purpose or indicate you're the original owner of article to avoid been accused of plagiarism.
I guess that he is the real writer of that article based on the name of the writer at medium. I also guess that he should have write a little bit of context of what he wrote on that link in this forum and on his OP. I think that he's just wanted some clap for his work.
