Thank you for saying that.

I don't think there's any secret to writing well beyond:

1. Write a whole lot.

2. Reflect on the writing and iterate.

Probably the most helpful thing that's taught me to write better (without intending it to be that way) is spending years and years on Reddit and HN, writing thousands of comments. Seeing which ones resonate with people and how is an effective training ground for getting better at making sentences that work.



Thanks! After my initial commenting, I sent off a long-winded email asking for your secret ;) Your comment covers it nicely. Cheers!
