Change is good for the brain? That's your entire argument for arbitrary interface updates?

If README files were:

1. Full of tangential life-story BS

2. Placed far above the content I went to the repo for

3. Filled with advertisements

I would love your browser extension.

Also, you claim the story is "much more important" than the recipe itself. So then I guess you would enjoy these recipes pretty much equally if they completely removed the ingredients of what they actually cooked? It's so much less important, after all.

I agree with this. These app don't take anything from the experience of people who want to read these asinine stories -- it just helps the folks that are there for the ingredients.

If this gets shut down I would love if a general, open-source solution could be developed to spread the capability. A generic Python recipe parser that anyone could hook up to a front-end. If the apps proliferate at a high enough rate they can't all be shut down.

Wrong, "foodies" are about to get eaten alive by people sick of their shit. The only people complaining loudly about that were the people propagating the BS. I certainly don't see any complaints from users mentioned in that article.

If your business model relies on people scrolling past a bunch of filler to get to a short list of instructions, be prepared for people to get tired of it and solve the problem.

You're leaning really, really hard into your claim that everyone is just overreacting to the simile/metaphor aspect of it. And going out of your way to provide example after belabored example of how metaphors shouldn't be taken literally.

None of what you described requires being in a family to accomplish. When I run into people at work that rub me the wrong way, I put on a professional face and treat them with respect as much as the situation warrants to get our job done. You could almost describe it as a ... relationship between co-workers.
