Post mortem

With this I conclude my week-long experiment in brevity. I can't say I particularly enjoyed it, but it was definitely worth trying. One observation in particular: it's easy to assume, especially for computer folks, that you can just change the underlying implementation and keep the high-level behaviour the same. But it's just not true. Expressing certain things is easier in certain formats, and changing the format changes the kinds of things you express. For what I want, I think longer (but not too long!) is often (but not always!) better.
