Thanks for reading that far - I'm not sure if I understand, are you implying that is a bad thing?

  Programmers are a crowd that fundamentally hates marketing speak. So yes, infomercial tones are seen by most as a negative thing. In my experience, programmers who are also entrepreneurs understand the merit of marketing, even if they instinctually dislike the wording you choose, so they'll be less judgmental (ergo your upvotes).

  It was an interesting read until the heading "So, here we go." Then, it turned into a creepy infomercial about professional blogging.

    I agree, it was my first time on the website and I genuinely liked the idea of "design for hackers", but when I read things like see "How 6 of my last 9 blog posts made it to the front page of Hacker News", I got irritated. Was this book and newsletter supposed to be about design? Maybe a refocus is in order here.
