#verbosity — Public Fediverse posts

In a staggering feat of #verbosity, this #tutorial turns drawing a simple #triangle into a Herculean odyssey of #jargon 🤯. Who knew that the humble act of lining up pixels could rival writing War and Peace? 📚 Spoiler: it's all about #layers of abstraction—like an onion, but without the flavor 🧅.

🤡 Ah, the timeless musings on chopping heads—brought to you by an anarchist's dream library, where you can toggle your way into a black hole of endless verbosity! 📚 Because who doesn't want to reflect on execution methods while navigating a website that feels more like a 90s choose-your-own-adventure book? 🙄

🚀 Oh, look! Yet another AI expert—because we don't have enough of those—arguing that machine-generated #verbosity is the new black. 💩 Apparently, the only thing cheaper than rewrites these days is the effort it takes to state the obvious. 🎉

@lianna as with most things it comes down to preference. however having them in your text directly means that a #ScreenReader user might choose to lower the #Verbosity of the punctuation they hear, thus not even realising that there were 2 tags there already.
Obviously that only works for speech users and if the tags make sense within the context of the words.
My rule of thumb is to imbed them within my text if they'd make syntactical sense without the octothorpe and add the ones that don't afterward.

@python_discussions I sometimes I abuse this for quick and dirty changing #verbosity in my functions without explicitly writing if statements:
```
verbose = True
verbose and print("some overly verbose message")
...
verbose and print("some other optional message")
```
By switching the boolean to `False` it directly turns off all `print` statements and the short circuiting uses a single line instead of a two line `if` in #python

I don't know whether I would do so im production code though ...
