Describe your suggestion

Article in question: https://medium.com/javascript-scene/mocking-is-a-code-smell-944a70c90a6a

Reason: It's incredibly heavy on terminology never encountered before which causes frustration when trying to understand. Spending 20 mins trying to understand 10 new terms/concepts in just one paragraph out of a very lengthy article isn't very effective learning imo. You're put in a position to try and parse everything sentence by sentence or accept you can't understand half the things they're talking about. I like to understand what they're talking about so then I can understand examples and conceptualize them in my mind. I can't do that in this article since every paragraph needs to be deciphered thoroughly.

E.g. "The strategy used by redux-saga is to use objects that represent future computations. The idea is similar to returning a monad, except that it doesn’t always have to be a monad that gets returned. Monads are capable of composing functions with the chain operation, but you can manually chain functions using imperative-style code, instead."

I also checked discord questions about this article to confirm I wasn't the only one struggling with it. There were other people suggesting it was hard to read/shouldn't be in the "More Tests" section.
