dan @danabra.mov · 05/01/2026if you're writing your post with AI, i'm not reading that shit to the end. not because i hate AI but because it's just not good enough. if i can spot it, it's skill issue both on your and AI part 1226015
Inders+ @indersai.com · 05/01/2026I feel like I can now tell when something is written by an AI from a mile away. 000
philpax @philpax.me · 05/01/2026it's really the skill issue part for me: I really don't care if you write it with AI, just make sure it isn't exceedingly obvious, because that's a sign that you didn't care enough to make any attempt to mask it 050
yuvalshimoni.bsky.social @yuvalshimoni.bsky.social · 05/01/2026Dan, what’s your take on the recent hype around developing without an IDE—mostly with Claude? It feels magical, but I worry it atrophies core skills. The friction of working directly with code and files fuels learning, progress, and real understanding. Maybe it not important anymore? 100
Andrey Petrov @shazow.net · 06/01/2026kinda relatedly, i enjoy posts that have something like "use [this prompt] to learn more about <topic>", prompts written by experts >>> naively phrased prompts. reminds me of the old days in everything2 where [[any topic of note]] was linked to another universe of takes about it. 000
dan @danabra.mov · 05/01/2026i think if you disclose it first like @vgr.bsky.social's sloptraptions it's fine and even good as experiment. i love that but most of the time it's sneaky and reading it is really like eating junk food but inside your brain. this feeling sucks. you shouldn't induce it in your readers 1491
Artem Zakharchenko @kettanaito.com · 05/01/2026Why would I care to read something that the author didn't care to write? 1261
Juanmi @juanmirod.bsky.social · 05/01/2026I am curious,do you think the general quality of blog posts and newsletters was better three years ago?Do yo have any example of blogs or newspaper that has gotten worst because of clearly using AI? I see a lot of slop in organic searches and shitty news recommendations, but not in my usual reading 100
conputer dipshit @davidcrespo.bsky.social · 05/01/2026also why are they all so long!conputer dipshit@davidcrespo.bsky.sociala more prosaic challenge for 2026 is to use LLMs to help you write less rather than more 0100
Nate Spilman @natespilman.at · 05/01/2026I feel like writing posts with AI is theft from the writer. Part of writing is the synthesis of thought. 030
