But you can still understand the gist of the article even if it used that word differently.
The author's made at a new tech breaking an old feature. Seems more to me like a "I wish they kept things the same" than "I wish they changed some stuff around here". Quite the opposite of legacy.
It being the main point of the article bug being used incorrectly in the title is just confusing. That's comparable to somebody always mentioning "wolf" in an article, actually describing a hare and never saying what their definition of a wolf is.

I totally get what you're saying, but wouldn't you rather discuss the content of the article than argue about definitions?
Sure, IMO github has had a subpar interface forever. I've always liked Gitlab's interface more. Github has felt behind Gitlab for a while and it feels like the major thing they have going for themselves are Github Actions and marketshare. The interface getting worse is no issue to me as I try not to use it anyway.
It also doesn't seem comprehensible to me that the author prefers Github's blame interface over every git GUI they've used. They don't even say what it is about the interface they find nicer.

I really like GitHub's high contrast themes. But yeah, that's it. I recently moved my code to Codeberg. Have you tried it? I like GitLab too. That was my go to back when GitHub didn't offer free private repos.
Codeberg looks like a github clone from 2018 or so. I do hope that they take inspiration from other source forges and won't be afraid to experiment to go their own way.
