GOOD WRITING

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

Writing that sounds good is more likely to be right. That claim might seem absurd, but it's true. When you're forced to rewrite awkward sentences, you never make the ideas less accurate because you can't bear to. Any change has to improve both the sound and the truth, like shaking a bin of objects until they pack together perfectly.
