I find it hard to believe that leaving out snarky comments is a drain on anyone’s productivity, let alone that the movement should encourage norms where we assume our value is so high that the risks of snark-deprivation outweigh the benefits.
I don’t think the claim from Linch here is that not bothering to edit out snark has led to high value, rather that if a piece of work is flawed both in the level of snark and the poor quality of argument, the latter is more important to fix.

Yes, this is what I mean. I was unsure how to be diplomatic about it.
