You're right. I wrote this article knowing this, which is what I tried opening with.
I'm not qualified to write a book however because this article itself is proof my writing skills need work.
Otherwise I'd be able to be more clear.
- joshu 9y agoAre you kidding? It was a great article.
- daveslash 9y agoAgreed - great article. That said, I think most authors of books like the one we're all imagining have support (in the form of friends and colleagues) in addition to an editor. I don't want to pressure you to write a book, but please don't let your own criticism of your writing abilities get in the way of a book.
- sirspacey 9y agoI’d help in whatever way you’d like. My dream is to make a company engineers love to work in. The chance to learn from whatever you share would be amazing.
- exikyut 9y agoAll writ{ers,ing} {are,is} emotionally soluble. And sometimes you need to unload before you can think clearly and articulate with perfect moderation. It's fine. The article and writing was very good. The rant sections could have devolved several orders of magnitude further, that wasn't the end of the world IMO. I got some major general-worldview TILs about engineering from the parts that talked about experience levels. The bits you said could be their own articles, and/or which you said you could go on about... I hope to read about those in followup posts. :D
