I saw some ads on screenwriting and thought that it would apply well to writing code, but I didn't go into them. Thanks for confirming that it does.

Which videos or Masterclass did you mean specifically?

This one:

>David Mamet's Masterclass on "Screenwriting"

I watched Aaron Sorkin's one, not the same feeling. Sorkin wants dialogue to be smart and fast and impressive. He wants characters who speak similarly to his perception of his smart friends' conversations.

Building product with David Mamet's advice will get you product market fit.

Building product with Aaron Sorkin's advice will get you funding, then put you in jail.

Ah, so this one: https://www.masterclass.com/classes/david-mamet-teaches-dram...

$200 is quite a steep commitment, but with this recommendation, I'll probably take it.
