If Steve Yegge put an executive summary at the top of his posts, I doubt I'd find them half as entertaining. Part of the joy is always trying to figure out what exactly it is that you're reading. Gets particularly good when he just puts a random piece of creative fiction on his blog.
- colin_jack 15y agoDefinitely agree. If anyone else wrote rambling posts that are as long as his I'd end up giving up part way through, but his rants/articles are a real joy to read and they usually give you real food for thought.
- jemfinch 15y agoMost of the time I do give up part way through, and I don't find his articles a joy to read at all. Yegge needs to learn brevity. He makes good points, and still even I feel like I'm wasting my time reading his articles; I can only imagine how Brin feels.
- moomin 15y agoI don't agree. I'm not claiming it's for everyone, but his style wouldn't be nearly as much fun in bullet points. http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/01/blogging-theory-201-size-does-matter.html http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/01/blogging-theory-201-...
