Author here, I'm sorry for that, I know I'm not very good at writing this king of articles. And that's exactly why I wrote this one, to improve. If you have any resources that could help me improve I would like to hear them. Thank you
Hi, it was not that bad, just use the open source grammar checking tool https://languagetool.org/ and it’ll help you immensely. Their premium is also worth it.
Writing's not that easy but Grammarly can help.
Even the Basecamp article they reference has this gem pretty early on: "As cliché as it may sound". Poor writing is everywhere online
What's wrong with that? Because the phrase is itself a cliché or using cliché as an adjective?
Yes, because "cliché" is a noun and "clichéd" the adjective. It's like saying "that's so age" instead of "that's so old" — it just sounds really jarring and unprofessional.
Wow, you aren’t kidding. This is one of the more poorly-written articles I’ve seen on HN.
I get the impression English is not their first language. I will say I've seen articles with worse reasoning and better language also. So as distracting as the errors are, this is far from the lowest quality article I've seen here.
