It’s annoying only because it’s on hacker news, because what are the odds of getting on it if you don’t know what is it and don’t have a need for it?

- thecodedmessage 3y agoI mean, pretty high. What if your boss just tells you to learn polars, and you don’t know why? Saying what something is, is just good communication, and can help clarify for people who are confused.
- blowski 3y agoThese workplaces where bosses tell employees to learn unheard-of tools with zero context sound terrible.
- azangru 3y ago> What if your boss just tells you to learn polars, and you don’t know why? Saying what something is, is just good communication Shouldn't the good communication happen when the boss tells you to learn polars? Like, why are you telling me this, boss; what is it that you need done?
- lnxg33k1 3y agoGuess in the remote event that you're told to learn a new skill that you don't know anything about, you go to pola.rs website and see "DataFrames for the new era" and start getting documentation from there, about what DataFrame is, the website is clearly showing what is it, it's your duty to understand what is it, I would argue that if you knew what DataFrames are you would be saying "Why is it saying something so basic and don't just show me the good stuff?" I for example hate website that try to serve newbies, newbies have a lot of content if they are interested, it's not that all the web needs to serve them
- vaylian 3y agoIt's annoying because a single leading sentence would be enough to explain a product. Some of the words (for example "Data Frame") in that sentence can be links to other pages if that's necessary. It's a small change but it makes a huge difference.
- wharvle 3y agoHTML has an element to provide definitions of terms without having to link out, but almost nobody uses it.
