What an interesting tale. But I feel like an anime character described it to me.
I'm totally fine with it (I'm grateful the story is being told at all), but it is surreal tone for technical writing.

Couldn't they just not show themselves on camera at all?
Enough furries and anime girls, people. They are cute, but there is more to animated art
Instead of displaying a mouse and cursor have the tentacles reach out and manipulate the code from behind a semi-transparent pane of glass that the code is displayed on.
Vinesauce has been streaming since well before twitch, and their content got significantly more "Twitch"-y after they embraced the current system. It's obvious why, because if you play into the chat begging, the surface level """interaction""", then you get more money from the parasocial twelve year olds with mom's credit card.
But I don't want my content full of ten second interruptions as a robot voice reads off the same tired joke somebody paid ten dollars to get read off.
Well, when those people put months of their lives into reverse-engineering a reliable stack of code for an undocumented platform, and want to do presentations and write-ups of their work, those people can decide to present however they want.
In the meantime maybe people who are contributing precisely nothing can STFU about the people who are.
Doubly so the twitch chat is going to mirror the streamer. So if the streamer is being a goon and playing up the twitch culture, you'll get twitch chat. But you can also have a very different chat experience if you establish from the get go that chat is to behave a specific way.
When every statement is exciting and special, then none of them are.
But perhaps I'm biased: I write how I talk too, and use and abuse punctuation to attempt to mimic my own voice.
I find it hard to analyze these things by numbers alone. It's context that really matters and if there truly is a baseline excitement, there really should be a high number of exclamations.
>A bunch of shader cores, which process triangles (vertex data) and pixels (fragment data) by running user-defined programs. These use different custom instruction sets for every GPU!
Why are different instruction sets exciting to the author? What does exclaiming that fact really mean for me as the reader? What I got out of it was the author was so surprised by this basic fact, that it was so out of this world unbelievable, that we also must be surprised by it. I'd rather read technical explanations with leadership/competence.

The intent I got was the idea of all the GPU instruction sets being different is notable, and perhaps unexpected and at the least challenging. The latter being an exclamation in the context of reverse engineering makes some degree of sense to communicate the fundamental difficulty inherent in this effort.
Now, we could go back and forth a few more times, invite friends and curious others to the party and end up with many different takes on this text.
What's the takeaway?
For me, it's lack of judgement. Content is king. I want to know what others mean to say and how they feel about it. I don't want to judge them on those things because what exactly is the point?
Make things better for me?
...better for people like me?
...people in general? Doubt that given the diversity of takes the experiment above would generate.
Waste of time. That's the takeaway.
And to press that idea home somewhat more, when I talk to other people, not text, but talking, I find diversity beautiful. Some are stoic. Some are bitter, jaded well worn solders. Others are excitable. Funny? Yup.
I submit you cost yourself more wondering why they don't conform than ever getting the answer is worth. Further, taking their intent in a more liberal, forgiving sense will get you to the good stuff others intend to share more quickly and efficiently. Plus, you might laugh a little.
I do. And it's enjoyable.
When I read the piece, I enjoyed feeling a bit of the joy, excitement, frustrations experienced by the authors and that amplified the good in all of it a little. Great! They did have one heck of an adventure after all.
Finally, you mention women overusing exclamation points. Maybe they are just being women? Just putting that out there.
I am pretty sure if we were to take a poll of those of us who are women as to whether being one is OK would trend to a definitive yes. The ones I know well tend to have a lot of fun and more colorful, rich relationships too. Kind of envy that personally.
I think it is OK to be a woman. After all, being a guy, I tend to be a guy. Why would women play it any differently?
Thoughts for you to consider.
Cheers! <-- Exclamation intended to convey a general upbeat mood, hoping it's catchy.
>Finally, you mention women overusing exclamation points. Maybe they are just being women?
I did mention it, but I did not come up with this on my own. You can read the study I linked to. Calling it "women being women" sounds a bit like the old "boys will be boys" attitude, as if your gender defines your actions or is an excuse.
Instead I'd rather look at why a large group of people feel like they need to express themselves as upbeat and happy. If you read the study I linked to, it talks about this with explanation. I invite you to read some more.
I read the stuff, and have read other stuff related to this discussion. Have had some conversations with others too. Those conversations are where "Maybe they are just being women" comes from.
Suppose my response was rooted in the exclamation not always being up beat and happy. That's context related.

How can people watch this?
Not in a good way. The write up wasn't so bad but the entire package is too much for me.
The other thing too, watching other people code is kind of not fun like George or Rene. More fun to see some screeching video with no actual info just the end result of a robot pissing in a cup.
Also goes to show how much work goes into writing code/having some end result. Maybe it will get more exposure since there is a growing trend for vtuber stuff.
I get it though, I used to watch Social Network or Silicon Valley to hype myself up to pursue something. Now my problem is too many projects ha.
Mario Brothers would make more sense though. Whoever created this is a plumber par excellence.
