When I’m first learning about some new thing, X, I get a lot more value in someone I know saying "I like X" or "I dislike X" or "I’m interested in X" or "I something X" than a detailed objective description of what X is.
@neil For me, use-cases, examples, and pitfalls are most useful.I want to see what it is X can do, and what you want to be concerned with.UNIX Power Tools is an exemplar of this in the Unix / Linux documentation case.

Hmm I might rephrase – ‘when I’m first deciding whether to learn about X’…
@neil “the cool thing about X” or even “the bad thing about X”
@neil I look it up in the agora to get an overview lol
