You do not write an article about technology by vomiting hundreds of bullet points mentioning every technology a company ever used. It's an appallingly bad example of technical journalism. This is not informational, it's just bullet point driven bike shedding.


He puts the articles together by researching from various sources, often without direct access to the company themselves.

It's going to be a little fragmented, but nonetheless, I found this a hugely interesting article.


I understand that hungryblank. But I don't consider myself a journalist. I'm a developer writing for developers so they can hopefully learn something that will help them build cool stuff. To that end I use a very concise easily digestible style with as little extraneous verbiage as possible. Nearly every point in the article could be exploded into a long form article and I already get in trouble for TL;DR :-)
