While the article has well sourced information, I find the usage of emojis in technical articles to be distracting and tiresome. I even witness it happening in internal documentation at places I've worked at. It's unnecessary and may discredit the validity of the information in the document.

- omarhaneef 7y agoIn their defense -- those links get up-voted. That indicates that many people missed the earlier postings, and find them valuable. (I am not associated with Floyd hub, but I have used their product once.)
- jacquesm 7y agoThat still does not excuse resubmission, even if they get upvoted, that's simply abuse and smacks of entitlement.
