Simon’s rule

I got a nice email from someone regarding my recent posts about performance on The Session. They said:

I hope this message finds you well. First and foremost, I want to express how impressed I am with the overall performance of https://thesession.org/. It’s a fantastic resource for music enthusiasts like me.

How nice! I responded, thanking them for the kind words.

They sent a follow-up clarification:

Awesome, anyway there was an issue in my message.

The line ‘It’s a fantastic resource for music enthusiasts like me.’ added by chatGPT and I didn’t notice.

I imagine this is what it feels like when you���re on a phone call with someone and towards the end of the call you hear a distinct flushing sound.

I wrote back and told them about Simon���s rule:

I will not publish anything that takes someone else longer to read than it took me to write.

That just feels so rude!

I think that���s a good rule.
