Breadth-First Article Writing (and tutoring) by Jon

Teaching vs Publication

Teach first, publish later.

Teach In-house First

Jon will write for in-house learning, first and foremost. That means a lot of requisite foundational knowledge will not be covered in the first draft (will be a final draft if in-house team already understands the article/lesson).

Publish Later

Writing for publication requires a fuller coverage of requisite foundational knowledge; most people (Pareto ratio, normal distribution) cannot and will not self-study said foundational knowledge. We won't be publishing to teach, actually. Mostly, we'll be publishing to entertain.

How do we structure issues? Are they broad high level funnels for ideas or are they previously identified action items that need to be addressed eventually as pull requests? Just so that our issues have a structured purpose.

~Topic: Syntax and Phonology: How learning programming languages relates to learning verbal languages~

[dynamictechco]

I would like to use a project board to prioritize what you think you can do quickly and what would make sense to do before tackling something else. This will also help me visualize how much time you need to develop a good article and how much time I should be equivalently spending developing other revenue streams while you're writing.

Topic: Syntax and Phonology: How learning programming languages relates to learning verbal languages

No correlation.

There actually is a syntax within any particular natural language's phonology, usually to make speaking more efficient and less effortful. But most audiences not passionate about linguistics will be turned off by the details. Your audience is likely IT folks not quite interested in natural languages; doesn't help their work or career.

Once you decide to pick up a topic, please make a card for it on the project board. We can re-organize/prioritize this board a couple times a week.
