@leip4Ier@infosec.exchange Well, fun is subjective, and while it can be synonymous with good in some contexts (like art), in general, objectively, it isn't. You might have lot of fun doing things that are not objectively good. Some horrible people (like me) might have lot of fun doing bad things. Some crazy wackos might have a blast at the chocolate machine shop (hehe, "blast").
The point of quality standards is to be objective, to be something that everyone agrees is good. I didn't mean people doing things for fun is an issue in the industry, I'm just saying that such an approach is only feasible in an industry that has all the issues we have now, and if we adopt it as a principle, we will be relying on those issues existing, and then maybe even supporting them.

Have as much fun as you want with puns in docs, or even code, as long as you understand why there are no puns in electric circuit diagrams, manuals or component lists for most products/services in proper industries or science (perhaps also noticing how they are instead widely used in marketing), and that some day you'll have to live up to similar standards. Better yet, if you will, strive for it.
