As an aside, PG is a fantastic writer. Truly one of my favorites reads. His writing reminds me of Joel Spolsky's writings in some ways, Joel also being a gifted writer.
PG's writing is not pretentious; it employs "easy" words and grammar on purpose. And his writing genuinely provides a tremendous amount of new insight.
- MisterBastahrd 5y agoYes, one must wonder at the way he effortlessly expresses his largely half-baked ideas.
- approxim8ion 5y agoGlad someone mentioned it. The man is pretty much unanimously worshipped around here but his writing just doesn't resonate with me. It's not just that I don't agree, I think it's possible to appreciate someone's talent without agreeing with it, but it just doesn't feel particularly thought-provoking or insightful to me. That might say more about me than him but it is how it is.
- truetraveller 5y agoWow, I truly have a different taste I suppose. Do you like Joel Spolsky's writings?
- approxim8ion 5y agoI hadn't heard of him until your comment. Will reply here after I've done my due diligence, thanks for the recommendation!
