Why is it that the free article about writing (and not the core content of health data interoperability or antitrust trials) that gets me to FINALLY do a paid subscription?

Because I'm a fan of the creative and mechanical writing process.

lol I actually don't even pay too much attention to the subject matter (APIs are kinda cool) - I actually just love the velocity and throughput at which you're able to create such high quality content. The fact that you're everywhere (Substack, LinkedIn, Slacks, external media, etc.) with such consistency and a unique perspective is incredibly inspiring.

I'm at the start of my "creator" journey - and I feel compelled to learn from your ways. I'm also a systems kinda guy, and while I don't have the TPS-system of writing down yet, I'm slowly getting a Kaizen moment of improving my writing process to create high-quality content.

Even a throwaway "How I Write" post like this a great guide for someone like me, who aspires to carve out an impactful niche in this world. Thanks again!
