Hey, you're exactly right. Most articles have really terrible information density and this is one of them.

For example Paul Graham's essays are often very insightful, but they are frustratingly long. The core idea, which is the only reason why I am reading the essay, can be summarized into 1 - 3 sentences. The rest is just a boring extrapolation and repetition of that.
