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.

Thanks for reading and providing feedback. Yes, it definitely could've been shorter, but everything in it is intentional. Many longer pieces suffer from lack of editing, which was definitely not the case here. Looking forward to your book!
