Musings
I have only written a few posts and the last time I wrote anything of any length was back in college. It has been a while. So I thought I would keep track of some of the things that I learn as I explore this arena.
K.I.S.S. I
Keep it short stupid. It has been a while since I have written so my writing is a bit bland. Nobody is going to read anything I write that is more than a few paragraphs. This applies to my writing in many ways. Simple and short sentences help make my work less of a brain twister to read. My humor is also a little mind-bending so it is best to remove that too.
I hope as I remember and explore syntax rules from an eon past this rule can be relaxed. I am certainly considering a subscription to Grammarly.
K.I.S.S. II
Keep it simple stupid. The first post I wrote was quite long and the topic a nebulous attempt to talk about writing networking code. Ick. It didn't make a lot of sense and I am sure anyone who read it is still in a coma. In my second attempt I limited the scope of the post to using docker-compose to work on networking behavior for one of my projects. It was much shorter and more coherent. Still a snooze fest, but no worse than the worst How-To's.
This is a rule to live by. I use it in code all the time. A post should talk about one thing same as a class should have one responsibility. It is fun to see the overlap.
