This post is well written and not over-long. If the concepts it describes are unfamiliar to you, it is a well written introduction. If you’re already familiar with them, you can skim it quickly for a warm feeling of validation.
I think the post would be even better with a short introduction describing its topic and scope, but I’m aware that other people have different preferences. In particular:
There are more than two ‘cultures’ or styles of discussion, perhaps many more. The post calls this out towards the end (apparently this is new in v2).
The post gives two real examples of Combat Culture, and only one made-up scenario of Nurture Culture. It does not attempt to ground the discussion in anything quantitative—how common these cultures are, what they correlate with, how to recognize or test for them, how gradually they may shade into each other or into something else altogether.
I don’t want to frame these as shortcomings; the post is still useful and interesting without them!
