The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q about the looks. It shows me that you guys probably internally are laughing your asses off at my sweater here. And so, I want to know. Apparently you're not, not, not holding back the laughter. What I want to know is, for people who really care about design, what did you put out there as that first version, and then what did it feel like to put that out there?

A Well, the very first version, Andrew, we made in one night. When we put up our first website, we made it overnight, because we had to. The conference in San Francisco was literally days away. Um, and I'll never forget when we put the website up, we immediately had something to talk about and to share. And so what we did is we wanted to get the word out, so we emailed the site to as many design bloggers that we possibly could. And, you know, Brian and I will never forget the morning when we woke up, and suddenly there we were on core-seventy-seven.com. There we were on swissmiss.com and some of these premier design blogs talking about this, this idea that, you know, had only just come to us days before. And here it was, like being broadcast to the world.

AI assessment note: “Well, the very first version, Andrew, we made in one night.”
