TLDR

The post makes a distinction between concision and information density: its author favors being concise but argues that density alone doesn't make an explanation better. More color, context and examples can make a complex topic easier to understand, they argue.

Nathan Benaich@nathanbenaichbut density of information doesn’t uniformly mean better consider that a dense explanation of a complex topic you’re trying to understand is not as helpful as one that adds more color, context, examples etc i’m all for concise but density isn’t all that matters.15d
