please:
alias hnquote='pbpaste | fold -s -w 77 | sed "s/^/ /" | pbcopy'
Then your quote will be
Don’t waste time showing [prospects] the step-by-step process of doing
something. Create a vision of what benefit they can get by using your
product. Then demonstrate how they achieve that benefit. Only if they ask
for more should you get into the “step-by-step” process of how to set things
up.
- wolfgang42 9y agoSince we're bikeshedding HN quote styles, please don't. While this is marginally better, it still causes horizontal scrolling on mobile devices. My preferred style is: > Don’t waste time showing [prospects] the step-by-step process of doing something. Create a vision of what benefit they can get by using your product. Then demonstrate how they achieve that benefit. Only if they ask for more should you get into the “step-by-step” process of how to set things up. This has the advantage of letting the browser do the word-wrapping, while still setting off the quote in a different style.
