Yeah, it’s not the best analogy. It’s not obvious enough that moving from the French omelette to the Thai-style one is in fact a significant upgrade. The whole idea of the post is that sometimes moving to a different “dish” yields much better results than improving the current one, so I wanted the “significant upgrade” part to be visceral and clear. I don’t feel like I was able to get to that point though. I messed around with the omelette example and also tried thinking of different examples but wasn’t able to get to a point where I was particularly satisfied.
Is that where you are coming from? Or are you saying that the main idea of the post didn’t shine through in the first section?
(I really appreciate this sort of feedback btw. It helps me as a writer. Thank you!)
