Help me understand what is so “great” about a writing style that reads like a couple of tech bros cracking jokes next to a water cooler, please?

That, “You” language spread all over the text to the point that I’ll almost take programming too personally!

The only missing overabundance in the text is that of memes and emojis in it’s style.

Is it oh-so-very “accessible?”

Is it a “very conversational” style?

Is it so-very “TLDR” over “RTFM?”

Is it a late-night talk show?

Is it the M&M’s of technical writing for distracted kids?
