Good insights, and not just software developers, really. We don’t like ads, sensationalism, or anything reeking of bullshit. If we have to talk to someone to find out the price, the product may as well not exist.

developers want to read documentation

they won't look at any white papers

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

White papers are shit written by marketing people who try to make their little ad sound like something academic. In truth these white papers are in equal parts misunderstandings, wrong and full of useless fluff. They are AI slop, often completely without any AI involvement.

If someone is serious about the content, they call it a documentation, reference or datasheet.
