I'm not sure whether GP refers to joining phrases up (like "end-to-end" or "idea-to-silicon" or "one-stop-shop") or using it instead of a comma ("I also spearheaded the creation of Swift - a programming language that powers Apple’s ecosystem - and led a team at Tesla that applies a wide range of tech in the autonomous driving space"). The former is just a matter of taste (but IMO has a teensy flavour of "marketing" about it), the latter is totally fine too.
- 52-6F-62 7y agoTo dive down into the pedantic with you all, I think in the latter case the hyphen is incorrect. Normally in that place is an en(–) or em(—) dash. Hyphens are used for joining or breaking words. IIRC
- thewebcount 7y agoThe GP is talking about how the text was written with hyphens inserted where words crossed a line break, but then the text was reflowed so the lines no longer break at the same spot. For example, in the original, it looked something like this: an ex- ample But on GP's (and my) screen it looked like this: an ex-ample
- Khoth 7y agoI think GP is referring to stuff like "pro-vides" and "program-ming" which look like they were hyphenated to line-wrap, but depending on the width of your browser window probably don't actually split across lines
