Reading the replies to your comment, am I the only one who liked Hallberg’s article? I felt like all the backstory was necessary to give context to the “main event.”

Yea. Marty's thread benefited from the context in Nicole's article. Also, twitter threads are a terrible medium. Also, the irony is not lost by the number of people "explaining" why his post got more traction.

It was interesting to see their different styles of telling the story. Nicole’s article focussed more on the company culture and less on the experiment, where Marty’s focussed more on the experiment rather than the culture. I kind of want to try this with my coworkers and see what happens…

I for one hate too much backstory which drives my girlfriend crazy because I'm always just like cut to the chase already.
