I found your last paragraph entirely unambiguous at all three levels, which led me to disgree with your overall point. Before that I was with you!

- karmakaze 2y agoMany 'rules' including this one can be broken if you know the tradeoffs and can make the case-by-case choices correctly. But that was a poor example for motivating a behaviour.
- langcss 2y agoThe benefit of "The service is now ready. To check the service's status, ..." Is when someone needs to amend this sentence later, e.g. inserting another point: "The service is now ready. This means you can query the health endpoint. To check the service's status, ..." It makes the writing less likely to become ambiguous. Most documents I see in work will constantly have sentences added/removed as things change.
