Please always explain what things are. All day long I'm following deep links, and nothing bothers me more than people assuming I have perfect context.

Explain once, and then start the next 10 posts with a simple hyperlink to the explanation.

Bonus: only one place to update when you realize you have explained it wrong.

Ehhh there’s a clear line between giving some important context and recapping the entire history & philosophy of a project. So much blogspam following the recipe pattern of giving your entire life story before getting to the point. No, I don’t need to read five paragraphs about why anyone would choose to use git and why businesses like it for an article aimed at developers.
