Writing about writing about programming | Phillip Tennen

When I’m being first-order productive, I’m programming: creating and interacting with a system. This first-order productivity is great, but it isn’t discoverable for others: there’s generally a high bar to entry for comprehending another person’s work when it’s expressed solely as a structured program. Second-order productivity is when I’m writing about programming, or about systems. This kind of productivity is generally more accessible and distributable, and forms most of the content of this blog!
