Principles

原则

  • Clarity is kindness.
  • Data beats adjectives.
  • If it sounds wrong, it is probably wrong.
  • Keep subject-verb-object unless complexity demands otherwise.
  • Respect the reader's time.
  • 清晰即是善意
  • 数据胜过形容词
  • 读起来不对劲的内容大概率确实有问题
  • 除非内容复杂度有要求,否则保持「主语-谓语-宾语」的句式结构
  • 尊重读者的时间
