Of Wonks and REMFs

This is a great article on the real world problems of being a professional writer. I work in tech, and all of these stereotypes can easily be applied to management, IT, marketing, etc.

As Will Dixon describes it,
It's a classic...people would reference it at parties, and the story meeting archetypes described in the post title should be in Websters. Not only is the essay very smart, funny, informative, and entertaining...yes, it's still relevant ten years later.
It's a little tricky to read because of the scans, but it's well worth the effort.
