I use editing codes to review articles and call out specific techniques for effective writing.


Today I looked at some writing by Maxi Contieri, who writes on Hashnode.

📝 Code Smell 163 - Collection in Name

In my positivity pass on this article, I highlight a couple of principles that establish context and help identify this article as part of a series.

  • LEDE, FRONT - The tl;dr at the top of the article clearly identifies the point of the content.
  • SUBHD - Great use of headings to structure the piece. Consistent with other posts in this series.
  • CLUTT - Supporting information is linked out from the article to keep the text focussed. The reader can choose to follow or stay on the page.

🎉 Kudos to Maxi for some great writing!
