Couldn't agree more.
The length is always what gets me with everything he writes about. I really want to read it, but I just don't have the time. I'm skeptical of this type of communication strategy working for a product.

- askafriend 10y agoI think he can probably get his points across in half or 1/3rd of the length that he writes. His format of communication may be better suited to podcasting and talking than written. But ultimately, even with his drawn out writing, I derive good value from it by just skimming and speeding through it.
- SyneRyder 10y agoI almost wonder if that's deliberate. I don't think this is a spoiler, but there are times in Stockfighter where doing the reading is advantageous, ie "people who actually read docs should be rewarded". A lot of my favorite parts of "playing" Stockfighter have actually involved going to a cafe, buying a coffee, and reading books like Flash Boys for a few hours.
- ryanSrich 10y agoWithin the context of the game I 100% agree. A large part of being a great developer is being able to understand and abstract information quickly from a number of sources. It's the verbosity of the marketing copy on their website that seems misguided though.
