Meh. If someone just blindly believes some marketing blurb and ignore the blitheringly obvious challenges, isn't that at least a little on them?

- dwaltrip 5y agoSure, perhaps. But people who make marketing content that contains bullshit or dishonesty shouldn’t get a free pass.
- BigJono 5y agoThe problem is that those marketing blurbs are never just on the front page these days, they're all through the documentation too. So I can't really fault people too much for falling for them. I'm not sure if this is just a front-end JS thing or if everyone is having this problem, but it seems like the majority of people writing docs aren't doing it to educate their users, they're doing it to proclaim to the world how smart they are with their revolutionary new tool that "makes foo simple" (and by that they mean makes foo easier* by adding complexity), and if the person reading it happens to learn something too that's just a bonus. *until you colour slightly outside the lines and have to dive into whatever their shit library abstracted away anyway.
