People usually like at least some minimal context attached, in case they are not familiar with the topic at hand.

But as it happens, the title of this specific post is rather self-documenting. So I'm not sure what's "non-descriptive" about it.

Or perhaps we have automated complaining now, pushing against automated low quality (re-)posting. And we got caught in the middle as remnants of the genuine human interaction that used to take place online ๐Ÿ™‚.

I can assure you it's not "automated" or anything like that. I usually prefer to see an excert of the post that caught the poster's attention, or any info in that realm really.

For me it's interesting because nowadays we have frequently too much information, not too little.

If the majority of the title (and body) is the name of a company or organization, I get cautious.

zlib-rs => crate replacing non-rust zlib
firefox => where the replacement is happening
trifecta => the foundation sponsored to develop the replacements

Maybe I'm influenced by the fact that I pre-knew all of the above. But as I wrote, it's quite ironic choosing this perfect title in particular to complain about ๐Ÿ˜‰.

On the topic of low(ish) level dependencies getting incrementally replaced with Rust rewrites, a Google employee did a presentation on the same topic recently.

Makes sense now! Also, the post itself is good! (Pre-knowledge of the terms possibly helped you, yes.)
