Nah we don’t need to strip out every ounce of personality from something someone was kind enough to write and share for free. Anyone whose delicate sensibilities are so offended can just simply write whatever free library they’re using themselves.
- spondylosaurus 3y agoThis advice extends far beyond free libraries (and the linked article makes no indication that it's specific to that context). I've encounter all kinds of B2B SaaS docs full of worthless bloat, and I've written docs in the face of pressure from product teams who want to turn documentation into a Look How Cool We Are showcase. And docs can be clear and straightforward without reading like stereo instructions—you can convey plenty of personality through tone and voice.
