I think heyrhett's was trying to say that article does not teach its readers anything new about the world. You could sum it up as "practice makes perfect".

From the HN guidelines: Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon.

A counter idiom is "excellence is good enough".

Striving for perfection can be destructive.
