Are you reading the text for its grammar & spelling? Just read around it, it's an interesting read!

- caymanjim 7y agoIt's not that simple. My own personal history has shown me time and again that sloppy writing is usually unintelligent writing. The odd typo is worth overlooking, but poor grammar and spelling are reliable red flags. In this case, it's a transcript, so the typo is a red herring. I didn't know it was a transcript when I started reading, though. Like the parent commenter, I stopped reading there. When I've just opened a bunch of tabs off the HN front page, everything's got a paragraph to catch my interest before I move on.
- rurban 7y agoIt's mostly an ad for his book, and all his former books. He doesn't give away any story or chapter, just some already known names. Not very interesting at all. Beto's story from a few months ago was much more interesting.
