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?
- robg 18y agoI just posted the article he references, and it is better...but he's still a marketing guy and I have to think that perspective is often going to ring hollow with technologists. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=305741 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=305741
- biohacker42 18y agoI don't think this a marketing vs technology culture clash. 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.
- froo 18y agoI really don't understand it either. 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?
- Hexstream 18y agoMaybe because his articles are immune to TL;DR?
