Excellent, that's exactly the effect I was going for. My posts have about a 75% abandonment rate, though, so most of the people who hit the post probably won't stick around long enough to get the joke. Oh well.
- scanr 10y agoGreat article. I laughed a lot. Thanks for that!
- isaaclyman 10y agoYou're welcome! Thanks for the compliment.
- ozaark 10y agoThe satire doesn't come across very strong and makes the author look uninformed. CSS has its ups and downs but the problems faced in the article have been known and solved for years in production environments across the web. The article is basically misleading with no answer for those unaware. Sorry if this feels harsh but reading through was fairly unpleasant.
- isaaclyman 10y agoThanks for the feedback. I basically feel like if someone can get through number 6 without smelling the satire, perhaps they're not paying attention.
- deckiedan 10y agoI knew it was not intended as serious before point 1. The technical stuff /code was so general and lacking specifics that it was very clear.
- xupybd 10y agoThe satire was fantastic, I loved it. I think humour is very subjective.
- lucideer 10y agoI'm not sure if you read the entire article, but if not, I'd highly recommend persevering. The first few points seem completely and worryingly serious, but by the end it's absolutely blatant.
- detaro 10y agoI can't decide if posting on Medium is perfect execution or the thing failing you ;)
- isaaclyman 10y agoIt sure gets more hits than my MySpace profile
