Hi! Thank you for taking the time to read the blog, it means a lot.

I have attribution both in the FAQ and also as a tooltip over the author name in the bottom left. I've added an explicit attribution at the bottom of the blog post as well, since I agree it needs to be more front and center.

The ideas in this article are completely my own, though I did use Claude to refine the prose and structure (and I admit so openly).

A FAQ, a tooltip, and attribution at the bottom still don't square with my own personal definition of 'front and center.'

> I did use Claude to refine the prose

This is like saying you used WD-40 when brushing your teeth to provide the highest quality cleaning. LLMs do not 'refine' prose, they contaminate it.

(Note that this is not a general purpose argument against the usage of WD-40. But it's an industrial lubricant, not a toothpaste.)
