This is verbose and unclear. An article like this should always start by explaining what problem it tries to solve before going into technical details.

- danabramov 1y agoThis is a technical explanation for an audience already interested in the topic. The motivation ("explaining the problem") is described in the article linked in the very first sentence. Here's a tldr: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45469167 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45469167
- drnick1 1y agoThanks. It's quite shocking however that GPT did a better job at explaining this to me than the original article.
- danabramov 1y agoWhich article are you talking about? I think https://overreacted.io/open-social/ https://overreacted.io/open-social/ (which is what I linked to) gives a pretty detailed explanation if that's what you wanted. As for the article in today's submission, I meant it for the audience that's already interested in the topic, and did not pad it out with a motivational section. I'm glad GPT was useful to you.
- auggierose 1y agoWhat you might see as verbose, I think is exceptionally clear. Also, the article comes with an entire other article explaining the problem, so not sure what you are on. If you cannot even click on a link, maybe you shouldn't complain about verbosity in the first place.
