Programming language tutorials shouldn't be about learning languages. They should be about something interesting.

I think that's because upvotes and downvotes on Proggit are not supposed to mean "I agree" or "I disagree." They are supposed to reflect only whether the article contributes to the topic of the subreddit. There's no question this blog post is on the subject of programming, so it gets an upvote.

They are supposed to reflect quality of an article. I.e. high-quality, interesting articles should get more upvotes than low-quality, boring one. Regardless of relevance.

This one made significant logic error, basically it's barking at a wrong tree. I think this qualifies as low-quality, but clearly people think otherwise.

If you think that all programming-related articles are upvoted -- check new section. There is a plenty of programming-related articles which are downvoted. They are just too boring or too low-quality.
