Why is the title not "An interview with Brian J. Fox, the creator of Bash"? These "I did Y" or "I made X" sound like typical reddit style attention seeking post

Why is the title not "An interview with Brian J. Fox, the creator of Bash"? These "I did Y" or "I made X" sound like typical reddit style attention seeking posts.
- glow8 5y agoWhat's wrong with "I did Y" titles? If it's OP who's posting their content, it makes sense to me.
- pattisapu 5y ago"Check out this unusual thing that I was able to do" is the emphasis rather than "Here is an interview with this person of interest."
- codetrotter 5y agoI don’t read it that way. Titles like “I did X” are interesting to me because then I know it’ll be a firsthand account. Whereas if it says just what it is it could be more likely that it is instead only talking about the same interview from another source that I had already seen.
- folkrav 5y agoI'd rather know upfront that the author is the poster. Full disclosure and all.
- mhh__ 5y agoWhy shouldn't people seek attention for their work? Why should titles read like they are in a journal, after all they wouldn't allow you to comment at all.
