Writing papers that actually get read

Posted by Van wiles at 2007-02-15 11:12

I finally got the drift of your message about agreeing on terms. Actually the problem with our original draft was that it was too long and got down in the weeds of architecture. So even though architects were reviewing it, most of them are always in a hurry and their eyes glaze over when they hit two sentences in a row that take a little too much thought.

So yes, terms like polymorphic and allomorphic aren't things you see in the morning paper, but the real challenge in communications is writing something that can be read quickly and understood, even by CTO's.
