Nice! You'd asked for my thoughts on this article [0]. Choosing the correction level of abstraction is an important part of naming, so I appreciate that the article focuses on it. (In case anyone is curious, this topic is discussed in the book, too.)
Walking through the Abstraction Ladder with an example is a useful approach here. I'm curious if the same takeaways could be achieved in fewer words (it looks like the article is currently ~3,000 words). I've personally found the Pyramid Principle [1] to be a helpful starting point for determining which points I'd like to make within a piece of writing and then structuring the content around those, which may be applicable here, too.
Glad that this topic is important to you, too! I should be able to follow up on your comment soon. Because the article is long, I want to make sure I have time to give it a thorough read.
Thanks for the thorough feedback! I really appreciate specific feedback like this. (I'm the author.)
I agree with many of these points, and the content of the book has more alignment with your perspective than the brief list of principles may suggest.
Many of these principles (and their names) still seem imperfect to me, but I've been struggling to find better ones. I'll take a look at The Kingkiller Chronicle; if you have other thoughts on how to improve the principles apart from what you've mentioned above, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Hi, I'm the author. It's exciting to see this on HN! Feedback about this topic (here and elsewhere) has been immensely helpful, so please don't hesitate to let me know your thoughts in a comment here or via email [0].
I'm a founder of Velocity, and I'm happy to answer any questions!
Velocity is a very flexible, powerful way to see how work is being done at your company. Our report builder is inspired by business intelligence applications. It lets you slice your Asana data by assignee, project, team, section, tag, custom field, and just about any other field. You can then share your reports via dashboards, email, CSV, Excel, HTML embeds, TV displays, and more.
We've seen teams use Velocity for project progress reports, sprint tracking, time tracking, marketing campaign tracking, client cost tracking, and hundreds of other use cases. Teams often discover trends that they were completely unaware of. When pairing Velocity with Asana's custom fields, teams can create extremely customized reports.
