150 comes from Dunbar's number, which is a suggested cognitive limit to the number of
people with whom one can maintain stable relationships —relationships in which an
individual knows who each person is and how each person relates to every other person.
And birds because they fly harmoniously together while preserving their own identity.

Write like you talk
Avoid jargon. Because fancy terms take up space and brain cells—while
saying little.
Except stating the meaningless does say something about your brand. The
wrong thing.
Remember, everything you do, show, and share is some kind of tell tail. Jargon
alienates audience members who don’t immediately understand what you’re
saying. They feel silly and unintelligent.
