The One-Liner I Forgot When Writing My Latest Book
09 Nov 2025 #miscLast week, I shared lessons I learned from a team’s architect.
He taught me to simplify complex coding problems into one line. A skill that has become easier with experience.
The same principle applies to any creative work.
But I completely forgot about it when writing and launching Street-Smart Coding, my latest book.
Movies, novels, and TV shows summarize their plot into a line or short paragraph for posters or synopses.
With a one-liner, writing promotional material is easier. “A vampire romance for teenagers.”
Next time you create something, describe it in a single line. You might need it on your sales pages or simply when someone asks you “what’s your new project about?” With a one-liner, you’ll always have a simple, confident answer.
