One of the difficulties of public relations is communicating to multiple audiences at once. One of Docker’s audiences are the paying customers who outside that 2% and would want some assurance that if docker makes errors, those errors are smaller in magnitude. This statement seems like it is aimed at assuaging the worries of that audience. Is it good practice? I do not know.
- dheera 4y ago> One of the difficulties of public relations is communicating to multiple audiences at once. Why not just release multiple statements and links? "Click here for customized PR statement if you are a open source developer" "Click here for customized PR statement if you are a closed source developer" "Click here for customized PR statement if you are an executive who can't code" "Click here for customized PR statement if you are a billionaire who invested in Docker but secretly don't know what it is" etc.

- hk__2 4y agoWhat if you are a "closed source developer" at work but an open-source one during your free time? What if you are a billionaire codes? What if… etc. You could make TL;DR's targeted at specific audiences, but you still need the same introduction for everyone.
- bleuchase 4y agoIs that a serious suggestion? Who on earth would take the time to look through all of those to see which one best fits them? Companies have enough trouble getting press releases read already.
- dheera 4y agoI guess then you could use some heuristics and ChatGPT to tailor the press release to the particular viewer. For example if the user has a screen resolution of three 4K monitors side by side, using Linux, and coming from a Silicon Valley IP address, they are probably a developer. If they have the screen resolution of an iPad Pro and a New York IP address they are probably an executive on the go. The HTML5 accelerometer API might also say something about whether they're reading your press release in bed, while sitting, or standing. Use ChatGPT to reword the press release appropriately.

- r00fus 4y agoCan't they say something like "a small and important group", yada yada, etc. Just laying out the % alone is derisive and pointless.
- burnished 4y agoWell, the end result would be some one else complaining about that phrasing being insulting, or a lack of transparency or something.
- hgsgm 4y agoThere are 2 audiences: 1 with impact and 1 with 100% impact. The relative size of those audiences is irrelevant to the people in the audience.
