Meta: This seems like a good format to spread knowledge from people who have it and are willing to teach, but either suck at writing or don’t want to spend time writing and editing. Become an apprentice in return for writing a guide.
Is this still worth doing? Is the community getting anything out of these? The first post in this series has 39 voters so far. This one only has seven.
Oh, I forgot that karma 2.0 is not the number of voters.
Dunno, maybe diminshing returns, or people are on holidays? The drop from 39 to currently 9 seems significant, but it’s still just two data points. If you don’t mind writing, I would suggest to post another part in September and see whether the reaction increases.
From my perspective (although I have upvoted both, so I am not the right audience for your question) there are diminishing returns. I used Python briefly in the past, and maybe will use it in future again, but I am not using it currently… so I was kinda excited to see some cool tricks about something I studied for a while, but more cool tricks are at this moment only insight porn for me. On the other hand, if I ever use Python in future again, I wish I would remember to read these articles again.
At the moment, users can message LW admins to add more authors, so I asked to add you as an author too. However, “only the first author gets karma, regrettably.”

konstell seems to be getting all the Karma though. Is there a way to do dual authorship on a post or something? Not sure what to do about it.
