People who write a lot of blogposts… How do you know a post is done?
When there's nothing that bugs me when I read it. I probably reread some essays 30 times before publishing. When you read something repeatedly, anything that seems off (whether it's an idea incompletely explained, or just an awkward sentence) becomes very visible.

Usually at least one of my rereadings is out loud.

Interesting how diametrically opposed that is to a startup. One would publish asap, be embarrassed by the first version and then iterate based on feedback until you got something people want.

I also get other people whose opinions I respect to read drafts. Those are the early adopters.
