Random thought about the previous post about "Things I Learnt The Hard Way".

When I wrote the post about "Things I Learnt The Hard Way", I never thought it
|
|
|
|
|
would gather the traction it did.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It was posted [on Reddit](https://old.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/bzipb5/things_i_learnt_the_hard_way_in_30_years_of/),
|
|
|
|
|
[on Lobste.rs](https://lobste.rs/s/hf0bkk/things_i_learnt_hard_way_30_years_software),
|
|
|
|
|
and it is being discussed on Twitter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
None of those was posted by me (except a single tweet, which didn't gather
|
|
|
|
|
that much attention).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since then, I've added a bunch of new points -- as life goes on, I remember
|
|
|
|
|
another thing that I forgot to mention in the first time -- and when I write
|
|
|
|
|
this new post, the original now captures 83 (!!!) points.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But while the short format gives a quick idea of what I meant, it doesn't
|
|
|
|
|
properly explain the points -- and a lot of people are (correctly) raising
|
|
|
|
|
those in the discussion boards. So I feel I should really expand those.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And, at the same time, I have created a few macros for
|
|
|
|
|
[Zola](http://getzola.org/) (the blogging engine I'm using) to "publish" some
|
|
|
|
|
books (if you allow me to be really loose with the meaning of "publishing").
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
That's why I'm currently considering expanding the points in a digital book
|
|
|
|
|
format, also here in this blog, using each point as a chapter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'll still update the original post, but expanding the points into chapters
|
|
|
|
|
will give me more room to put my thoughts on each of them, and I can link each
|
|
|
|
|
point to the longer explanation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sounds like a plan, doesn't it?
