Is it not about a developer and kernels and risc-v ? ... what do you know, it is.

The Register editor doesn't need that refresher course you're offering after all.

Thank you!

(And for the implicit acknowledgement that, as a mere reporter, I don't have much influence over the headlines at all, and most often the editors don't use my proposed headline, subhead, or often intro paragraph.)

I don't have much influence over the headlines at all

So it's a bad low information title and you aren't defending it and know it's bad, or it's just fine to have a low information title? Seems like you're playing both sides here and not taking responsibility.

Is it not about a developer

Not even a word from the title.

and kernels and risc-v

That's like writing an article about a world cup game and titling it "some guys, a ball and a field".

The Register editor doesn't need that refresher course you're offering after all.

I think you're hallucinating things that were never said.

Since you mention it though, this is journalism 101 taught in middle school english. You don't need a where on the internet, but there is no who, what and why.

"Is it not about a developer

Not even a word from the title."

Fucking first sentence let alone the rest "Yuri Zaporozhets of QRV Systems is a busy chap. He's built a new RISC-V-based personal computer, a mainframe on an FPGA, and rewritten QNX – twice."

What do you get out of this? It's bizarre.

Fucking first sentence

I don't know why you're having a meltdown trying to defend clickbait. That's what's really bizarre.

The first sentence of an article isn't the title and the title is wasted, it's just manipulative clickbait, but some people are so in love with it they defend it like it's part of their identity.
