(Author of the linked blog post).

Look at my other posts and you'll see I'm not like an "influencer content" person. I purposely made this piece shallow to encourage more people to read it and discuss the core idea, rather than get distracted by specific examples or points.

I've blogged long enough on a personal level, done corporate PR long enough at a professional level, to know that the more words there are, the more people get bogged down in the details.

I plan to follow up this post with specific callouts and associating it directly with my work (both positively and negatively). But, for example, if I used Terraform as an example of something in this (hypothetically), people would focus in on arguing the merits of "feeling" Terraform. That's not the point.

The point is to think about what we're shipping.



I couldn't help but laugh when reading this, knowing that 80% of this thread would be picking apart any specific example if you provided one - completely missing any kind of "reading between the lines" message.


Thanks for your response.

My point isn't that you can't write whatever you want because of course you can.

The audience of my comment is the consumer of any online content to be careful about projecting too much into it.
