I said the examples are brutally outdated, not the message. The book is filled with acronyms and names I didn’t know because they are 60 years old.
I’d rather read a 2023 version if I could.
- warrenm 3y agoThe acronyms and names are basically irrelevant to the point, though :) If anything, having "outdated" acronyms and names may actually make the message stronger - because you don't need to be distracted by what they "are", you can just accept they exist[ed] :)
