Just use a fucking blog, man. I'm so sick of threads like this.

Edit: I'm sorry, this came off as way more aggressive than I intended. I get why people use twitter to share stuff like this, but it's much harder to archive, find or reference in the future, not to mention it being much less readable than a simple webpage.

To anyone reading this, please consider publishing your findings on a blog as well as on twitter.

Hey, OP here. I agree that a blog post would be more readable. In this particular case I just didn't expect that it will catch fire. If I would then I would spend more time on the form. I won't make that mistake again (i.e. in the future I will use a blog post as main driver of such twitter thread).

Don't worry, post wherever you want. Content existing somewhere is better than someone thinking it may take too much effort and not writing it in the first place. People may have their preferences about publishing platform, but telling someone off for not following that preference is not fair.

Thanks for writing about your experiment.

Thank you!

Or post it on Reddit or Medium or whatever if you can't be bothered with a blog.

Twitter "threads" need to die.

Reddit and Medium are no better in terms of weight and complexity.

old.reddit.com is better than the abomination that is the most recent Twitter redesign. Though new Reddit is truly terrible, probably even worse than Twitter.

I would even remove "threads". Sick of all the hate and fakedom.

You can use Nitter to make it a bit more readable and a bit less bloated. https://nitter.net/andrzejdyjak/status/1324360905237372929
