My New Series: The Short-Short Form

The challenge to create quick quips.

Today I’m starting a short-short form series on technical topics of interest.

There is relevant technical content all around us, and it’s essential to be aware of it. It just needs to be harnessed.

Here’s the problem, technical topics create literary rabbit holes. And that is a challenge.

There is a tendency to spend countless hours sculpting endless paragraphs introducing, explaining, dwelling, and concluding an article, especially in the technical realm. The longer the report, the bigger chance of losing attention.

My self-induced assignment is choosing a topic, writing two paragraphs about it, crank it out in <15 minutes, like a microwaved potato, publish it, and move on. The commitment is six days of articles, resting on the 7th.

Keep an eye open and enjoy.

We do, after all, live in a world of instant.
