Counterpoint: I am heartened to see this post. Weaker writing skills are the norm, even if they don't (always) bubble to the top of sites like HN.

The shortening of our collective attention span hurts our ability to reach and be reached in many ways, writing included.

It would be easy to cry "hypocrite" on seeing someone whose writing needs work (and significant editing) calling for longer-form content and more focus on the written word, but I feel a bit more hopeful instead.
