I have often found that the less time I spend thinking about and writing a post for the history of the web, the more I’m just kind of shooting from the hip about something I know a lot about, the better it usually does. That being said, I kind of like writing the hard, long stuff too.
This is probably bad advice, or at least bad praxis, but for the former I intentionally eschew process — I’ve found that if I’m trying to communicate something at the object-level (“this is how I handled this problem”, “this is what I thought about this book”) the more time I spend on it, the worse it is.
