I, and I'm sure others, have been dismissive of your posts, but being
as
I'm in this mood, I thought I'd return the favor.

To you it's upper-case "Moldable Development."  To the rest of us it's
just lower-case "development."

Congratulations on discovering syntax highlighting, a feature that's
been extant since the late twentieth century.

As per previous posts, it would be delightful if you'd include a one
sentence or one paragraph description in your post.

Why would anyone want to visit a post to find out what its about, when
the poster can't be bothered to include any details?

Thanks for reading them! I put that upper case because is an approach
to software development, you can follow the hyperlink
https://moldabledevelopment.com/ to learn more about it.

Indeed, it is funny now that you make me notice: I am excited to get
an explanation along with the syntax. Usually major modes highlight
syntax but that is it. Why I cannot get an explanation of what a
\`for-loop\` is as well?

I see it can feel that way, and I assure you it's not my intention to
disrespect your time.

I tried adding an explanation but I also received feedback that it
wasn't needed since it is in the blog.

I add the link here for publicity really: to signal in this community
that I wrote something that (I believe) may be of interest.

It saves me time adding only the link and I try to save readers time
by adding a TL;DR section and using titles that are catchy but not
click-bait (I mean if you don't care about moldable-emacs, the title
gives that away that the post is uninteresting for you).

That's quite reductive and demonstrates a lack of understanding in the
USP of moldable development.

Well, "lack" would imply "some", and I assure you there's none.  Nor
do
I know what USP stands for.  I am certain though that I'm not missing
anything.

I interpreted USP in this context as Unique Selling Point, if it
helps.
