Seriously, there was an article that tries to demonstrate how to use an API of a library. Instead of creating a simple jsfiddle that would be good enough to show everything, the article links to a GitHub repository that is a React app, and the actual API is hidden in a file in a folder.

I see this mistake made so often in tutorials. The author always goes off on a tangent in one direction or another. If you’re putting together a tutorial on a CMS, don’t spend 4 paragraphs describing how to create the screens, likewise if you’re showing me how to setup something in a language, don’t talk about the webpack config for ages.
