When I see poorly written prose, it makes me distrust the technology imparted. If you can't take time to get the grammar right, why should I believe that you got the code right?
- tarkin2 4y agoIt's possible to be good at coding yet poor at grammar.
- huimang 4y agoNot everyone speaks English as their native language.
- KptMarchewa 4y agoTrue, but looking at author name - James Smith - it does not seem to be the case.
- kybernetikos 4y agoPotentially, but on the other hand, James Smith is exactly the sort of name you'd choose to use in the Anglosphere if your birth name was difficult to pronounce for English speakers.
- ilyt 4y agoThat's like complaining book writer site have shitty JS. "If you can't write code why should I believe that the prose you write is any better?" That being said they are selling it and that's enough reason to complain.
- kybernetikos 4y agoThere are many signals you can use to help you judge the value of a written piece of text. In this case, it reads to me much more as the writing of someone for whom English is not their native language than of someone who doesn't know what they're talking about technically. If you want to pre-judge all technical content coming from people who have not spent huge portions of their life living in an English speaking country as being of no value, then I'm sure that will protect you from some bad content, but you're going to be missing out on an awful lot of good stuff too.
