I'd say it's nerdview that's going to be read by nerds, and that unlike the examples in that lovely post, it will be understood by the majority of people who read it.
- maxerickson 10y agoSure, it wasn't egregious, but I think the insider perspective idea has lots of explanatory power when it comes to the confusion Noseshine expressed and the surprise wyager responded to the confusion with.
- hyperpape 10y agoWell, obviously we can disagree and I could be wrong, but I think Noseshine's response was a "man bites dog" situation. After thinking about it, I'd still expect the intended audience to see it.
- Noseshine 10y agoWhat does "man bites dog situation" mean? Looking at the Wikipedia explanation for the phrase in the context of journalism it supports my question about the title: Extreme and rare events are more likely to be reported. Obviously shipping "Rust code" is much less noteworthy than "shipping Rust" would be.
- hyperpape 10y agoYou interpreting it the other way was the man bites dog case. I believe most readers weren't misled.
