软件博客写作中的反模式
Anti-Patterns in Software Blogging
Michael Lynch 总结了软件博客写作的常见反模式，包括冗长开头、误判读者已有知识、假设读者读过前文、过度正式，以及用链接替代术语解释。他建议文章即使读者不点链接也应能读懂，并强调用自己的声音写作；在许多开发者把写作交给 AI 后，有个性的表达更稀缺。

Anti-Patterns in Software Blogging (via) Some excellent writing advice from Michael Lynch. Michael warns against "meandering intros", misjudging your reader's existing knowledge, assuming they'll read your previous posts, and excessive formality.
He also warns against overreliance on links as an excuse not to explain terminology. This one hurt! I do this all the time, but I have a nagging suspicion that almost nobody ever clicks on them.
(In a Lobste.rs comment Michael clarifies that "My rule of thumb is that my article should still make sense to the reader even if they don't click any links". That works for me.)
This point about using your own voice is crucial:
Beginner software bloggers suffer from a mass delusion that you have to write in a stiff, overly formal way for people to take you seriously [...]
Just write the way you talk.
With so many developers delegating their writing to AI, software blogging is becoming bland and homogenous. Readers are hungry for writing with personality.
