Dumbdown is more keystrokes and the formatting gets in the way of readability.
I try to be positive in all Show HN posts - but I'm having trouble finding something good to say about this.
- hinkley 6y agoAt least it doesn't assume inline HTML. Inline HTML is great for internal usage and pure peer relationships. It's a nonstarter when you're in a situation where you have contributions who are only partially invested or only pretending to be. In a work environment, the threat of ostracism has many more teeth and they are far sharper. Upload spyware or exploits, lose your job. The Elixir Markdown implementation doesn't even have an option to turn it off :/
