I like your analysis of audiences on dev.to, reddit, hacker news, and facebook. I've always had a sense that these platforms are different. Seeing their properties written down concisely gave me a deeper sense of understanding of the factors that go into choosing a platform that fits what you are writing, or else choosing what to write based on the platform.

I had never heard of decision fatigue before. I encounter the problem of starting to write something, then getting stuck on a problem and getting distracted, and ultimately not making progress. I'm going to try switching to other areas in my outline if I run into a problem, and come back to the problem with fresh eyes later.

Overall I appreciate your perspective and attitude on writing. It seems a healthy attitude. I learned a lot from hearing how you approach the process of writing :)

P.S. Putting your outline for this meta-blogging post is meta to the extreme ;)
