Nobody asked you.
- roryokane 15y agoHacker News implicitly asked him, by having a comment box and a community that generally rewards good comments about linked articles with karma and accolades. If you don't want to change your book based on one person's feedback, that's your right. But edw519's request was reasonable. I found his request more rhetorical than an actual request of you, anyway.
- jkn 15y agoWhat do you mean? (seriously) FWIW, I felt the same, reaching the end of your post. To me, edw519's version says "I value being good", while your version says "I value being better than the others". The latter is a bit sad, as it means the value increases when the others get worse.
