I think the greater issue here is the possibility of the entire article being AI slop and the 'doomed' direction in which we are heading where reputed sources of information are churning out slop.
I am doing the same but with LLVM. For starters, I filtered issues with the "good first issue" label and found something to work on [1]. It took 2 months in review and about a month to research and write the code. Finally got merged yesterday. I am writing about it so that when someone else bumps into the same problem, they hopefully take 1 hour instead of 1 month. Compilers, like the kernel, are a lot of fun!
It appears that rendering for code blocks (```) is still not implemented (see here https://gitclassic.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/100045).
Would love to see this grow
