It seems the author purposely tried to make this article as long as humanly possible. That's not going to make me want to read it more or think you, the author, are very smart because you write a lot of words.

Edit your blog post down to a few hundred words and then I'll read it.



Yeah looks like they were hoping that if they maximize the word count they will automatically "win" SEO.


Seems totally backwards. They were venting and just... kept venting without end? You don't have to read it.


Manager: so what’s the problem? Dev: ..explains the problem.. Manager: use English idiot Dev: no work right, I fix, u go now k?

Yeah it’s a long read and could do with summary. But then again even the length can itself be seen as a response to lose-lose aspects of corporate culture. Anything you don’t mention in that PowerPoint is just an opportunity for someone to tear you down with FUD, bike shedding, or simple ignorance. But keep it short so everyone gets a chance to take a shot. Every design doc should be a slide deck and every deck a design doc, every tweet a blog and every blog a tweet! Gotta make sure it’s effortless for the loyal opposition
