“Hello! I am a developer. Here is my relevant experience: I code in Hoobijag and sometimes jabbernocks and of course ABCDE++++ (but never ABCDE+/^+ are you kidding? ha!)  and I like working with Shoobababoo and occasionally kleptomitrons. I’ve gotten to work for Company1 doing Shoobaboo-ing code things and that’s what led me to the Snarfus. So, let’s dive in!

    Help me understand what the author is trying to say, please. It could be I’m missing something. It just reads to me like the author feels everybody else has a responsibility to somehow make complicated topics easy.

      That’s what tutorials are for! 😂

        Some topics are just complicated. If I write you a tutorial in fast Fourier transforms I can’t start the tutorial at 1+1=2.

          But you can put it in the pre-requisites

            Of course. But that wasn’t the complaint/satire of the satirist whose article we’re discussing.

              I think you’ll find that’s a huge part of the complaint - unexplained terminology. See Microsoft tutorials that never tell you what any of their TLA’s are, nor link to any explanations of them, exactly as is satirised
