One of the key things that I believe is that the world has gone to far in the metric direction. Metrics lead to things like fake reviews, teaching to the test, and SEO. The only way to avoid this is to put your trust into people that you believe have good signal to noise ratios. While posting on HN I believe that your posts have good signal to noise ratios, so I will now henceforth go through your post history looking for quality content. This post was one such event. Because I viewed your content like this, length went from a cost to a value. I read the entire article(okay, I skimmed the code sections). Love the blog. It made my skills as a developer better. Not much to add, a benefit of the verbosity.
