The fury I'm experiencing, while trying to read a document [1] that some manager had to have reviewed, and then instructed the authors to insert more graphics for what ever brainrot produced reason. That's my assumption, at least. Maybe hire an expert in #datavisualisation or stick to the #softwaredevelopment principal #KISS - #KeepItSimpleStupid. Fluff up an info-dense doc with abstract art, but don't waste readers' time with nonsense!

Lunch first though!
