Seth's blog seems to always make it pretty high on HN. Am I alone in wondering why? They usually have great titles, but are seriously lacking in content. I'm not complaining necessarily, but I admit I don't get it. Can someone explain?
Currently looking at the top stories, his article on fastcompany is #2 and the blog post he wrote about the article on fastcompany is #3.
What's wrong with this picture?
Seth just writes some very good stuff and a lot of stream of consciousness stuff. The later has a tiny shiny idea at its core, that's wrapped in a tone of crap.
Perhaps technology demands more precision when expressing ideas, but still we often see the same style from tech writers.
And that's just it, bad style. Not a culture clash between the great kingdoms of marketing and technology.
