<p>How many microscopic adjustments are made to a sculpture before it is complete? How many stitches go into a fine garment? This is the level of awareness you must achieve: down to the individual character.</p>
<blockquote><p> !<br />
 -<a href="http://twitter.com/Case/status/929836959">case</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Judge your simplicity by skimming your words.</p>
<p>Your readers will skim it. They will misunderstand it. They will even repost it, having skimmed it and misunderstood it. Expect this, plan for it, optimize for it.</p>
<p>Get ready to say it once. Or, get ready to say it wrong, delete and repost really quickly. If you&#8217;re lucky, no one will notice your mistake except the search engine. Limit yourself even further than the constraint requires, and then having the extra freedom will seem like a luxury.</p>
