The content seems like it might be interesting but the presentation is so pretentious that it's quite literally unreadable.
I gave up after about a dozen "give me the next word" finger taps on my phone.
Just post the prose. Better writers and worse writers have done so, and people have read them.
- skrebbel 3y agoCome on, it’s obviously a slide deck.
- yodon 3y agoThe comment predates the author's arrival in the the thread. I did consider the possibility that it was a slide deck, but as a slide deck it appears designed for the presenter to read aloud the words the audience is seeing on the screen. Presenting in that way is generally a much greater sin than simply making a pretentious web page, because the audience is generally trapped when faced with that sort of presentation. I "assumed the best" and assumed it was a web page rather than a slide deck.
- skrebbel 3y agoYou know the author is in this thread, you weren’t there when this was presented, and you call “presenting it that way a much greater sin”. Why? What do you hope to accomplish with such a dismissive attitude? You’re making a whole lot of assumptions man.
- yodon 3y ago> You're making a lot of assumptions That's the whole point of the previous comment. The author wasn't in the thread originally. Lots of us hit the page and said WTF? You responded. I explained why, prior to the author's arrival, I assumed this was a web page not a presentation.
- mmcdermott 3y agoThat's valid. I think familiarity with Takahashi style presentations (https://presentationpatterns.com/glossary/#takahashi https://presentationpatterns.com/glossary/#takahashi) helps. These are admittedly less common in corporate settings, though I have given one or two.
