“My current org's obsession with enforcing PP for its own sake as a measured performance metric has conditioned me to squirm when I hear the term”

That's just bad, imho, I would have the same response.

And thanks a lot for the kind words, much appreciated!

“This could be a blog post.”

You can't imagine how many times I thought this too, and yet here I am 10-15 years later still writing comments... Ha, it's never too late I guess.

Oooh! Can I copy the body of your comment into a post on my little project and credit you with a link back to this thread?! It should be seen and discussed by more people! I can do the same as a reddit post if you'd like, too.

If you wanted to set up a little blog beforehand in case people want to follow you, I can wait. whistles

You absolutely can! Credit all you want, I'm fine either way (although validation of ideas through HN could give more weight to your post indeed).

As for the blog, I'd rather do it once and for all (I have a cleaner / LTS mindset), so that will require a little planning (e.g. domain and URLs, as I hate dead links with a passion). I just don't have the time now, hopefully before year's end. So don't wait on me!

And thank you so much for the interest. It may be pride but I'm very grateful. Have a great one!

I suppose you can always copy out your best or longest comments and post them as blog posts as is, and then later go back and update them appropriately. For any comments that overlap, just throw them all together into a single "blog post".
That is a very good idea, thanks so much for suggesting it! I'll definitely do that. Funny to think I might have years worth of posts ready that way.
