Agree on the software case. Disagree about the recipes.

Food writing is its own genre where the recipe is one part of a larger story. Can often include travel stories as well.

Maybe not your thing. But definitely has its place.

Can we agree that this flavor of recipe writing should not be applied to software? That's the point I was going for (hence the ad absurdum header)
