Proposing a Paul Graham style blogging model

We’re all stupid busy and it sucks. Tech IT Easy was started under the guise of studenthood which does not in any real way reflect “professionalhood.” 10-hour days are not uncommon in my line of work and it doesn’t leave much space for reflection–the real currency of writing.

So here’s what I propose.

  1. form a group of tech/business enthousiasts (aka regular readers)
  2. find a platform (e.g. mail, but I also favour the private wiki where texts can be shared privately and easily edited)
  3. share ideas for blog posts and drafts and discuss those internally
  4. release, not often, but qualitatively good pieces on technology / business / etc.

Why do I call this the Paul Graham model. Take a look at his essays. Under some of them (e.g. the Ramen profitasble essay), there’s a thank you to people that helped him edit the piece.

I’d like to hear your thoughts. If you’re interested in collaborating, either publicly or anonymously, and/or happen to know a good platform to do this on, leave a comment or send us a mail.

Thanks,
Vincent

    I think something like this would work better to my writing style. I don't seem to be able to push out stuff without digesting it for weeks. Honestly, I don't know if it's a style thing or time constraint thing.
