Those who have been lamenting that writing is a lost art have evidently never visited Stacker News. Here, people who don’t consider themselves writers will awe you by the effort they put into their writing. Individuals who seem more comfortable with coding and programming type up long chunks of text from the books they’re reading - and then include their reflections and recommendations. As if this isn’t enough, they include footnotes to denote other things that they want to share but not deemed crucial enough in their long text.
Take that, frivolous soundbites on IG and TikTok! Stacker News exemplifies how people doggedly apply the V4V method. That if they contribute their useful insights and focus on providing something of value, other Stackers will respond in kind. Sats showers will fall in the form of furious zaps.
I’m curious to know what the other examples of V4V you demonstrate in your real life, be professional or personal. What’s something you seek to do differently from your colleagues and friends so that you can stand out from the competition and be known for excellent service? How do you put your stamp on things so that others know that you have done something unique and fabulous?
evenespecially if they might not like what I have to say. It's not always easy though.
