This is what introductory paragraphs/sections/chapters are for. Someone already well acquainted with the subject matter can quickly skim through them, while others less familiar with it get a quick catch-up.
- Shared404 6y agoI agree. But that's not always the best solution. Just like libraries, sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't the best approach. For example, in a "How to do $BASIC_THING in python" article, putting an intro of "This is what a variable is" may not be a bad idea. Meanwhile, in a "Writing an operating system from scratch in an esolang I wrote" article, maybe you'd be better off linking to previous blog posts or other resources. Obviously these are both extreme examples, but I think it's still a valid view.
