Funnily enough, the author does not take their own advice. They say you should motivate with background first, but in that article, they put the motivating background at the very end, after their suggestion is provided without any motivation.
However, given that the whole article pretty much fits on a single screen, that can be mostly excused.
Reposted because it did not take off last time it was posted. Since the author recently passed and I thought it would be nice to give it a second chance. While it's still available.
Anyone else tired of others policing how to speak? I think society as a whole is pretty burnt out on this and it leads to some pretty bad second order effects.

I like the sleeping kitty thing.
There’s nothing wrong with the post. I basically agree, but I don’t see it as front page HN stuff.

In this case it's not about offense or whatever but effective communication. Seems focused on reviewing prs.
