Sample Blog Editing Notes
refactoringenglish.com
The notes below are my blog editing notes for the first draft of Tyler Cipriani’s article, “The future of large files in Git is Git.”
I worked with Tyler to:
- Reach a clearer understanding of his target audience
- Focus the post on practical lessons the reader can apply
- Find a structure that feels clear and intuitive
Tyler’s finished article enjoyed a strongly positive reception:
- Reached the #1 position on Hacker News with 550+ upvotes
- Reached the #1 position on Lobsters
- Reached the #1 position on the /r/git subreddit
What’s working well
Broadly relevant topic
I love the topic because it’s relevant to a large number of developers, especially on places like Hacker News.
