That's a great article and highlights something I preach/teach all the time; know your audience. I also think there's a third, and significantly larger audience of 'users'. Perhaps most of them aren't interested in the code base itself, but simply in how Leo works. I count myself as part of that audience, despite sometimes wanting to be part of audience #2; just don't have the programming 'chops' to get there quickly and easily.
