> where their only or main job during those days is writing the essay?

Writing 850 words shouldn't take you two months even if you only have 10 minutes a day to spend on it. The discussion is about the short description on the product's website, not the product/code itself.



Writing 850 words is not difficult. Writing the right 850 words can take a lifetime.


This isn't a class or an assignment. This is real life with stakes.

This is sales. And the right words means tens of thousands of more customers / users / contributors / stars / whatever over time. The wrong ones = dead and forgotten.

Irrelevance is the failure mode here.
