Why is there a six paragraph diversion at the end of this explanation? This may be tangentially relevant, but not enough for an explanation that eclipses the size of the rest of the actual comic explanation. Consider removing it or boiling it down to one paragraph on the general topic with a link. I prefer removing it because the comic doesn't make it's own connection to a wider issue. {{unsigned ip|162.158.75.142}} | Why is there a six paragraph diversion at the end of this explanation?

: I'm not the most organized thinker in the world. A lot of the explanations on this site read like the person who wrote the explanation does not actually have experience with the topic of the comic, which is generally written as if it is something that Randall does have experience with. I tried to fix that on this comic, by sharing background from a place of experience, but I wasn't really sure what the most relevent bits were or how to integrate it into the existing work well. The existing explanation read as if Cueball was simply a horrible coder, when in reality these data pipelines are common things among programming hobbyists, and it takes experience to recognize that they are inevitably a house of cards. They're not inherently bad though: liberal input validation can be used to notify a dev when something goes wrong, so that they can fix it fast, but that needs more foresight than Cueball may have if he is running it off his phone. This data pipeline approach is used in live sites still up today. I'm sorry I'm expressing so verbosely; it's being hard for me to be concise.

: On the upside, with it running off his phone, at least he's more likely to be nearby when it goes down. ;D | : On the upside, with it running off his phone, at least he's more likely to be nearby when it goes down. ;D | ||
