Breathlessly approving tone of a language readme: Readmes on Github, especially for languages, often have a recognizable tone. Look how cool this is! Isn't this

Breathlessly approving tone of a language readme: Readmes on Github, especially for languages, often have a recognizable tone. Look how cool this is! Isn't this so neat!? Why would you ever do it differently!?
Comedic timing (in text): Most prose is written under the assumption that it will be read in order- ie, from beginning to end. For instance, you likely read the word "beginning" before you read the word "end" in that last sentence, and read the word "to" between them. So for instance, while "a lesser shitpost would have revealed that of course the file extension was .db right at the start", this superior shitpost has text between the start and the reveal. This is analogous to how, when speaking, a comedian will maintain awareness of pausing and such to drop funny lines at exactly the right moment.

- humbugtheman 3y agoSorry to interrupt... I've just realised that it isn't breathlessly approving. A better example of breathless approval would be the above comment.
- ravi-delia 3y agoMy apologies. Please take the first ":" of the first paragraph and replace it with the following string: " is as follows:".

- lannisterstark 3y ago... this entire comment chain is weird AF.
