What JG said. (well, not quite)
Writing is so ridiculously easy when you know who you’re writing to.
Random internet people is not a good reader.
My reader:
- knows programming
- by which i mean, knows functional programming
- which also implies, hates java
- has a fashion sense
- likes industrial music,
- by which i mean swedish industrial,
- by which i do not mean american rock music with noise bits,
- by which i could mean some ambient crap
- is a girl
- by which i mean is a really hot girl,
- and aware of it,
- and not afraid to use it
- also, not afraid to use regular expressions
- but expecting negative look-behind assertions to work
- is not a character from xkcd
- wants an anthropomorphic version of xml,
- and the whole dukenukem 3d arsenal,
- and a private civilized chat with aformentioned xml guy
As you can see, I don’t have a reader.
