It absolutely drives me nuts when people spend so much time building something but make it difficult to show you what they’ve built.

A short code snippet (with syntax highlighting thank you) should be the first thing on your page.

I do not have to scroll through a huge wall of text (probably AI generated), 2 images (definitely AI generated), miss it, start clicking links, still not find it, hit the back button, scroll through the slop again, etc.

I want to see the thing, I don’t care about what you have to say about the thing until I can get a sense of the thing.

I do not think that much human time was spent on this actually.
