@HAWK This is great thanks.
@codinghorror The web posting I am trying to describe (which I read within the last year or so, but havn’t been able to relocate), explores some considerations for communication software, walking through some of the implications of different design choices etc. It was very well made and stood out from any other material I had seen, so I felt confident that others have come across it and would remember it if so. I was hoping if someone did recognize the source I was describing they could connect me with it.
I thought the community around discourse would be a relevant place to reach out to about it because it deals the subject of communication software design and the community is made up of people running and working on Discourse (being a communication tool with plenty of understanding and intention put into it’s design). I put it in uncategorized because I thought it didn’t fit in the other categories.
Then at the same time, I have been reflecting on the design choices of communication software and would welcome any resources such as the post that @HAWK shared, books, articles, videos, etc, that others found useful and meaningful in thinking about the subject.
I also thought that the resource I’m trying to describe might have been extremely well known, like if someone says “I’m looking for these stick figures I saw that were making programming jokes.” and despite the loose description they would be quickly connected with xkcd.
