Exact proof what what I'm saying. Your mental model isn't a "fact" it is a perception group of beliefs.
A red ball is red is a fact.
"all code is technical debt" is a stupidly worded headline as if its a fact, when it is absolutely nothing more than a useless opinion in a sea of a million contradicting other opinions that say the opposite.
Instead, a headline can be worded to not be stupid by not attempting to write it as a fact, but as the ACTUAL benefit, or ACTUAL point being made...
Your perspective is unique, special, in makes you different. Share THAT, emphasize THAT. dont water it down with stupid genericness.
The original title by Paul McMahon is equally as stupid as this one
Yet, people keep doing it, over, and over, ad nauseum. I think people just simply don't realize how unoriginal they are, its like do they have even a fraction of awareness to try to be different?
Your headline is how you captivate people, actually try to state the intent/purpose so it's useful, to get into the mind of the person reading.
Not to use a hammer trying to clean some fine china.
"Keeping my projects maintainable by thinking about them differently" or something, literally anything. I didnt look at your article except skimming, and this is an off the cuff idea in 1 second, but you get the idea. It's something that the reader sees as a benefit, or something nuanced that they can learn... some part of your perspective they can integrate... not some basic-level statement of fact they're going to immediately agree/disagree with... as if this is your only tool in your toolbox to get attention or build curiosity
