A self-aware click-bait title is still click-bait.
True. But before others pre-judge: I actually did learn quite a bit about Tailscale's architecture and robot vacuums from this article. It's interesting but lighthearted enough to give me a chuckle. I wish more company blogs used this style!
disclaimer: I threw the name suggestion out in the slack thread, though I'm sure I wasn't the only one to think of it.
The problem is when you have a thing that's overlapping the sets ( click-bait ( title ) fun ), what do you do? Er on the side of avoiding the click-bait or embrace the f̶u̶n̶ suck.
Maybe a title like “tailscale LITERALLY sucks” could still be fun while giving a small hint for people thinking this is clickbait?
And for the next project integrating tailscale to their automatic bin lid, Tailscale Literally garbage.
