   One of the top frustrating things about having a growing audience is that you can not rely on any shared or historic knowledge. Everything has to be said with the assumption that the reader has not seen a single other word from you and knows nothing about you. Every thought or announcement has to inline all the fundamentals.

     @Gargron best you can do is document along the way and add lots of links to those docs. not everyone will read the links but at least you get to be justifiably snarky when people ask questions they could have found answers for on their own 🙃

     @ashfurrow @Gargron Yeah I was thinking the same, does it actually have to be inline?

     @Gargron don't you think that just a little in-group reference could serve to signal to listeners that there is a loyal group to be in? You want the loyal fans to stay loyal, too, and they need acknowledgement.
