                                I use markdown. I enjoy using markdown. But markdown is dumb. Markdown is an example of a thing that makes sense because you're used to it.

                              Somewhere deep back in my Twitter I participated in an argument about trying to get all journalists to use markdown in newsrooms...

                            Everyone was sure that this should happen and inevitably would happen. It was not going to happen. It will not happen.

                          Markdown is a lovely construct for engineers, web enthusiasts and devs who have always written in a format something like that.

                        If you attempt to explain it to someone who does not live in those categories you'll get blank stares because it doesn't make sense to them.

                      I mean, even as a dev, if you think about it long enough it starts having some real weird issues.

                    Like why to many popular markdown variants use the comment symbol to indicate headers? This is counterintuitive.

                  In the end, Markdown is the same thing as every product made for engineers by engineers with the belief it is actually for everyone...

                It's just a tool you can use to prove how much smarter you are than someone else in the very narrow BS topic that only you care about.

        I'm not obnoxiously subtweeting, I just don't want to pull someone in from an old old tweet without their consent.

      But yeah, Markdown didn't become the new typewriter of the Web2.0. I guess there's still time though.
