dreamrealbut I think this is really interesting and potentially VERY useful
dreamrealand I'm all for propping up people I know
dreamrealI don't know everyone I post references for (and never have) but even so
dmlloydI actually have a few more in the series written - at least roughly - but I'm trying to balance against authorship burnout (which hits me very quickly, hence 18 months between posts)
dreamrealYou don't have to tell me about that :/
dreamrealbut that's part of why I'm happy to help if you want me to try
dmlloydif you have any points of feedback, I'd at least listen :-)
dreamrealThe biggest ... hmm, "concern?" wrong word, really. But the biggest burden I have is "why do I want to know this?"
dmlloydbut don't bend over backwards... I'm pretty sure I can get one of these done every week or two until I'm done done
dmlloydyeah I'm not trying to sell it so much as explain it
dreamreallike, you burden the reader with determining their interest, and that means for most readers they're gone after paragraph 2
dreamrealnot a matter of selling, though: it's informing
dreamrealThe people who need this aren't going to know they need it: some will, sure
dmlloydthat's OK, engagement isn't really my goal, it's more so when people do stuff wrong I can point them to the blog :-)
dmlloyd"hey I explain why you don't leak lookups, go read this blah blah"
dreamrealwhich wrong stuff? I mean, that's the whole thing; you're creating something YOU can use, but not really anyone else
dmlloydalso maybe it'll be transferrable to AI skills
dreamrealand my thought is: if it's framed, not only will AIs be able to find it more goodly, but so will people
dreamrealI get the "engagement isn't the goal" thing - bytecode.news is going to struggle with that as well because I'm not interested in nonorganic growth
dreamrealI want it to be superpopular but I want it to have earned that
