"Why you're bad at giving feedback"

why you're bad at choosing titles.

EDIT: the title has changed to "Delivering actionable feedback". this is much better. someone listened.




The original title is much better for most audiences.

It provides an immediate identification challenge and response in the reader’s mind: “Am I really bad at [X]?”

The edited title is in the language of committee reports. “Delivery” and “actionable” are formal and passive words, without an immediate connection to the reader.


> the title has changed

Only on HN


I didn't realize the title was changed. Who did this?
