I think a distinction between solicited and unsolicited feedback is valuable, too. We all just want to hear our own voices, don't we? Would softwaredoug really benefit from my feedback? Have I ever published a book? Do I have any experience in pedagogy? Do I have enough development experience to be worth listening to? Yet I don't have to disclose any of that to share my opinion, get a few upvotes, and possibly mislead someone into thinking there's any wisdom in my remarks. Maybe sometime after AI obliterates the already-bad signal to noise ratio of the internet, there'll be a market for real, learned people to sell their feedback. But this is kind of unsolicited feedback.. so probably worth ignoring :)
