This entire link is nothing but those. I don't feel like I'm being spoken to, let alone taught to. I feel like I'm being repeatedly poked with a finger that really wants me to know it has punchy ideas. Which backfires, ofc.

It feels like it's treating the reader as unintelligent. It's like a hammer every sentence.

That's probably just Claude. I do enjoy finding new ways to call out the patterns it uses though.
