It's probably to allow for added complexity as they expand on each task. Makes it simpler to import elsewhere too.
I've been giving this way too much thought ๐
I think it would come down to if the fold in the wrapper was facing up or down. If the tire had tread, I don't think it would matter, but if the slit were facing down, I think the wax paper would keep it from sticking. Unless the pressure squeezed the butter out, in which case I think you'd end up with most of the button on the tire and the wrapper on the ground.
I'm quite new here (hello everyone!), but I think banning twitter links is in line with the community's principles, and it shows a level of solidarity with other communities and instances doing the same.
On a more practical note, I feel like there is a good chance if this movement becomes widespread enough, it will get some news coverage, which could increase awareness and help bring like minded individuals (and trolls probably, but I suspect that's nothing new) to the instance.
This seems like a largely symbolic gesture though, so I don't have an issue with screenshots.
They kind of glossed over the real value, which is using it as a template to automate a step at a time:
"Each step of the procedure is now encapsulated in a function, which makes it possible to replace the text in any given step with code that performs the action automatically."
It breaks the work down into more manageable tasks. I probably wouldn't give it to users until it was done, but putting placeholder functions is a common strategy.
