That's actually one of the skills I want to work on this year for personal development. Being able to edit well is critical but undervalued and never taught...

Yea, I think that's the crux of it. Also, I wrote this about "disappearing code" a while back, but I think it fits for editing, too. Like, it's something people just do begrudgingly, and tend to fail to see the opportunity for better process...https://dispatches.artifexdeus.com/on-disappearing-code-7fa2494203aa …

I’m a good editor as long as enough time has passed that I don’t care about deleting parts I worked hard on but not so much time has passed that I’ve stopped caring (window of ~3-12 months after writing)

Part of being a good editor is realizing just how many times you can read through something and not see the obvious typo on page 5.
