Normally the 1 sentence per para LinkedIn post for dummies writing style bugs me to no end, but for a technical article that's continually hopping between questions, results, code, and explanations, it fits really well and was a very easy article to skim and understand.
It's action thriller writing for something that's in reality is super dull (my question is loaded with outdated cliches, but would you be telling a girl you're trying to impress at a party about this problem you faced of trying to push some data over the network?). I had to skim over it, like watching a YouTube video at 2x so I don't start evaluating how obnoxious the narrator is.
Well it's an inherently unprovable accusation, so assumption will have to do. It reeks of LLM-ese in certain word choices, phrases, and structure, though. I thought it was quite clear.
I committed typing en-dashes and ellipses on Windows to muscle memory. Alt+0150, Alt+0133. Bam!
I'm sure there are easier ways this can be set up. But, as I said, muscle memory.
Although I'll have to admit that wanting to use proper typography in the first place probably started when I was typesetting a print magazine on a Mac, where it's super easy to do it the proper way.
(I'm also never going to let AI slop discourage me from trying to use proper punctuation.)
