I’d appreciate it if tech writers use fewer words like "easy," "simple," and "straightforward." These terms provide no real information and can only make readers feel stupid when something doesn’t seem as easy as claimed

@lesley When I use terms like these its specifically about how much effort/code it takes the computer to do it, I sometimes find them handy when describing that.

I strive never to use them to describe how much effort/skill it takes humans!

I avoid words like "complex" too! I want my readers to judge that for themselves!
