I, and I'm sure others, have been dismissive of your posts, but being as I'm in this mood, I thought I'd return the favor. To you it's upper-case "Moldable Development." To the rest of us it's just lower-case "development." > ...an Org Mode buffer that allows me to visualize the syntax > used. Then I swap to a Java file and again I can do the same! Congratulations on discovering syntax highlighting, a feature that's been extant since the late twentieth century.

As per previous posts, it would be delightful if you'd include a one sentence or one paragraph description in your post. Why would anyone want to visit a post to find out what its about, when the poster can't be bothered to include any details?

Thanks for reading them! I put that upper case because is an approach to software development, you can follow the hyperlink https://moldabledevelopment.com/ to learn more about it. Indeed, it is funny now that you make me notice: I am excited to get an explanation along with the syntax. Usually major modes highlight syntax but that is it. Why I cannot get an explanation of what a \`for-loop\` is as well?

I see it can feel that way, and I assure you it's not my intention to disrespect your time. I tried adding an explanation but I also received feedback that it wasn't needed since it is in the blog. I add the link here for publicity really: to signal in this community that I wrote something that (I believe) may be of interest. It saves me time adding only the link and I try to save readers time by adding a TL;DR section and using titles that are catchy but not click-bait (I mean if you don't care about moldable-emacs, the title gives that away that the post is uninteresting for you).

That's quite reductive and demonstrates a lack of understanding in the USP of moldable development.

Well, "lack" would imply "some", and I assure you there's none. Nor do I know what USP stands for. I am certain though that I'm not missing anything.

I interpreted USP in this context as Unique Selling Point, if it helps.
