I'll give two obligatory comments: 1) Writing is a professional skill that makes literally every professional more dangerous, in much the same way that learning to code does. I heartily endorse leveling up at it, for everyone.

2) The concept for this book is great as a business, in ways which are not necessarily obvious. It's an artifact for the consumption of software developers which includes basically no software. It's a book about writing which intentionally anti-targets 99.99% of writers.

Why? Because constraining the topic to the needs of software developers specifically makes *the artifact much better* (you know you're writing for someone who cares about e.g. blog posts to get senior developer jobs and not midlist fiction, and can tailor advice appropriately).

And note that you certainly could have hypothetically written Writing For $PROFESSION for literally any profession but choosing Software Developers means you structurally have a client who has effectively infinite budget for books which deliver career effectiveness.

It was a joy to interview you and all ten other experts who appear in the book. Thanks for the shoutout and I hope people enjoy reading it!

There was approximately nothing the page had to do to get my money after the interviewee section, but the Questions section is perfect. Return policy, email me to get it for free, is it for me, no-DRM honor system. One thing doesn't seem right: I was prepared to spend 2-3x.pic.twitter.com/U9NKoDNp1w

It just occurred to me that I could justifiably expense a team license, which makes its price ~criminally low.

Ok, that's it, if the legendary patio11 endorses the book I'll have to buy it!
