- RBerenguel 16y agoThanks for the vote Ixiaus. I knew I didn't say anything new, but it was also intended as a reminder for myself (I usually write longer posts, and try to 'say more', but I don't succeed always). I always struggle to get working on my fundamentals right, even if it is the right thing.
- Arun2009 16y agoOf course, the article doesn't say anything new, and admits this right at the start. But I thought it conveyed its content in an interesting way. Articles such as these IMO convey more than just objective information. You imbibe a subjective component as well from such things as the language, analogies and quotations used. There's a difference between saying, "Fundamentals are really, really important." and quoting someone accomplished in his field as saying, "Faithfulness to the fundamentals is something that becomes second nature to a professional." The latter conveys a certain mindset, an attitude that the former doesn't, and this has real value.
