Isn't it usual to quote something interesting a person says and then provide the context in which they are saying? I see the headline quote at the top, and then halfway down the page in its own box, but nowhere in the actual article?
If I click on a headline that interests me it'd be nice to actually see some discussion of it.
Closest I can find is "But I quickly got the hang of it because I knew all the important concepts from other languages and frameworks."
- buro9 11y agoReminds me of a song by a band named Clinic: IPC Subeditors Dictate Our Youth. A caustic reminder of effect on the reader, not of the content of the article, but of the headline and pull quotes which are considered part of the editorial domain. Amusingly the song title had nothing to do with the lyrics of the song.
- StevePerkins 11y agoYeah, this variety of clickbait is infuriating. I'll admit to finding a guilty pleasure in the usual, "Why Rust is Awesome and Go Sucks" blogtrash... when the content actually DOES reflect the title. However, when someone slaps an inflammatory title onto a piece that doesn't really even address that subject, it's the worst of all worlds. Makes me form a negative opinion of the author, of the hosting site, and in this case even of the person being interviewed (rightly or wrongly). Since the majority of people don't actually read the content, all of the comments just deal with the title anyway. Material like this belongs in a "spam" folder.
