Article writer here. I meant that "version 3" of source maps were introduced in 2011, which is the date on the google doc. I'm updating the article.


Yeah, I figured as much. Just thought it would be fun to add a bit more history, in case some found it interesting. Did not mean to imply that your article was incorrect :)


Because being the author of an article or a blog post automatically gives you credibility?
