I wouldn't say it made me flinch, but that is not a throwaway line. It deserves some additional, I'm sure quite interesting, explanation. But I believe he is referring to HQ, and there have been other write-ups on HN about how to automate beating it.

I love telling this story, but that wasn't the point of the post

At the end you mention you may have found a good resource to improve your writing. Which resource is that? It's something I want to get better at as well.

Fair enough. Out of curiosity, was this a big money maker for you? Like 5 or 6 figures?
Did this make anyone else flinch?
edit: I do want to comment on the Feynman Technique linked in the article. I've never actually written concepts down as explained, but it's very close to how I _actually_ learn (or at least, feel confident in my knowledge). If I can't explain something in plain language, there's a good chance I've gaps. The steps listed are pretty succinct - going to have to give it a try!
