LinkedIn is the Mos Eisley cantina. If you only drop in once in a blue moon, it's obviously going to shock you and end badly. You have to get used to it. that’s the only way to network without getting blasted first.

A startup owner recently told me that they want docs made by humans. As a differentiator. Because engineers are tired of slop. There's hope, folks.

In roughly an hour you can create a Claude Code plugin like this one, which scans edited docs using Vale rules and offers to fix them. Who needs an IDE now?

The hardest thing with creating tools is getting people to use them. There's no point in vibe-coding a fantastic solution if the folks who're supposed to benefit from it don't get it. Sad but true.

More than words
While I've done a lot of reference documentation writing, my favourite type of work is writing tutorials and "how to" content. I enjoy the challenge of understanding a technology and an audience, then explaining the technology to that audience. AI seems to be particularly bad at creating this kind of content. When people try, they...

I think telling companies to stop building data centers is the kind of constraint we need to get serious with local models' hardware.

Fabrizio Ferri-Benedetti @theletterf.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
I hear you, but I'm confident resource usage will improve dramatically over time. We're not far from running local models on our laptops, which kind of defeats the whole argument about resource consumption. I'm still in the "AI can be a useful tool" camp.

Programming Tutorials Are Dead
AI did not kill developer education. It killed the old workflow where learning ended with a sample app and the developer did all of the translation work.
