I like a lot of what Paul Graham says about writing here, but the most striking thing about this essay is that it's all about the writer working alone with no mention of the value of feedback, and then in a footnote he thanks people for reading his drafts.https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1230780485883846658 …
Other people may have different m.o.s, but in my case I only ask people to read drafts once an essay is done, in case there is some big mistake. IIRC the only change I made in this one for example was to change "trousers" to "sleeve" after Dan Gackle accused me of going native.
