+# Write Less

+> If we wish to count lines of code, we should not regard them as "lines produced" but as "lines spent"

+The same applies to technical writing. There's a tendency to think that the more is written, the
+better. It is wrong: given the same information content, a shorter piece of prose is easier to
+understand, up to a reasonable limit.
+
+To communicate effectively, write a bullet-point list of ideas that you need to get across. Then,
+write a short paragraph in simple language that communicates these ideas precisely.
