- tokipin 19y agohe talks about the length of his blogs here: http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/01/blogging-theory-201-size-does-matter.html http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/01/blogging-theory-201-... quite funny
- Xichekolas 19y agoJudging by his blog posts, can you imagine how much commenting he did as a n00b? Something tells me those examples at the top of his post weren't that far off.
- pchristensen 19y agoHe never said that prose should be terse. In fact, he is on record as saying that in order for writing, it has to be long enough to force the reader to remember it. If you're not willing to take ~15-20 min to read his essays, are you really going to internalize his recommendations?
