Jeff AtwoodIt is amusing to see the advice on old blogs of "you should read Paul Graham!" well, maybe, until you get to the one piece where.. well.. https://infosec.exchange/@codinghorror/115534277339319858
I still think of that particular, uh, novella as the single biggest self-own by a tech writer I've ever read. Which I still regret reading, by the way. 0/5 stars do not recommend.
dr2chase@codinghorror I think it is an instance of a tech guy thinking that of course he knows everything about everything, "now watch me do sociology". And then doubling down, rather than "oops, mea culpa, please ignore all that and never let me write about it again".
@dr2chase what I find most remarkable about this single piece is how it is the literal opposite of everything Paul has ever advised about good writing. Plus it sucks.
