An aside for your aside, in regards of port number: nobody reads documentation for fun. Even a little of tongue-in-cheek like your "unprofessional" example above makes the drudgery bearable ("heh, that's elite in leetspeak, ha ha"). It shows that it's written by humans, for humans, as opposed to oracle-style soulless corporate suck. You may consider it unprofessional, I consider it humanizing.
- floatingatoll 5y agoI once found an easter egg 'kilroy was here' type paragraph buried deep in an otherwise dry slash 'uninteresting to most people' document, so I reached out and told the person who'd left it that I found it. It absolutely made their day. I wouldn't do this very often, but it was smoothly integrated with the doc and anyone skimming would have missed it.
