pippierce
A piece that respected the reader by not over explaining the obvious, and a look at pippierce continued that calibrated approach, finding the right level of explanation is one of the harder editorial calls and this site has clearly thought carefully about what readers will already know versus what they need help with consistently.
fumefinch
Came in skeptical of the angle and left mostly persuaded, and a stop at fumefinch pushed me a bit further in the same direction, content that can move a critical reader by argument rather than rhetoric is rare and worth pointing out because it indicates real substance underneath the surface presentation here.
macrolush
Reading this prompted a brief but useful conversation with a colleague who happened to walk by, and a stop at macrolush extended that conversational seed, content that becomes a starting point for in person discussion rather than ending in solitary reading is content with social generative energy and this site has plenty of it apparently.
