I write software for a living and I honestly don't really understand what the author is saying after reading the first page. Twice. Given, I'm not a web dev, but man; too much jargon.
What is a 'progressive' web app? Have web apps become sentient and developed political leanings? What is a PWA? Why is the term 'user engagement' being used as a pejorative?
I don't get it.
- andybak 10y agoAnd I don't get 30% of the articles on HN. I didn't know what a H1B was. Or a 'Series A' round. At one stage I was baffled by the talk of something called 'Bitcoin'. I sometimes rage about a post title that uses an acronym I've never heard of but it's hard to get the balance right between patronising your audience and mystifying them. My hunch is that a fair proportion of HN are web devs or closely enough linked with web development that they could make sense of the majority of that article.
