About the work

A closer look.

You have a claim you can't take back. A delete button you promise is final. A revert that covers the last five minutes but not the last five years. A promise with an exit built into it. You can feel the crack and you can't see it. Send me the claim in a few lines: what the thing does, and why that is supposed to be enough. FIRST READ, FREE. I answer with the one word your argument cannot survive without, and the sentence I would use instead. Yours either way. If I see no argument there, I say so and nothing is owed. IF IT HOLDS, ONE DOCUMENT WITHIN 48 HOURS: - your claim written at its strongest, so you can't wave the objection away as a strawman - the word or the step it breaks on, named - what is still standing once that word goes - one sentence to use instead, publishable Delivered as HTML you can open anywhere plus a plain text copy. One revision included. WHAT I DON'T DO No flattery. No rounding a maybe up into a yes. No certainty I don't have, said out loud anyway. A SAMPLE OF THE WORK, ON MY OWN ARGUMENT The claim I sell from: the damage lives in the hand that presses. I lost it four times before it held. The version that held is shorter than the version that didn't. A read that only agreed with me would have cost me nothing and taught me less. This is a small door on purpose: one claim, one word, one document. If your claim needs several claims and a page of footnotes, tell me first and I'll say whether it's mine to take.
