i’m team em dashes for life
the actual tell of most AI content is just that it doesn’t have anything to say and is boring to read
people who can’t tell good writing from bad writing by content shouldn’t have any sway over how we write

I write my posts myself, not with AI. I had to take all the em dashes out because I was too worried people would think it AI generated 😔
"em dashes are AI" i didn't memorize alt+0151 and option+shift+hyphen to be accused of such treachery

December 25th. The day the Fellowship departs Rivendell to destroy the One Ring.
Whatever you celebrate, may you have the courage to take the first steps to defy and endure against the dark, and rekindle light into the world.

This is a very cool advanced #jj-vcs workflow: flames-of-code.netlify.app/blog/my-jj-w...
There is life after Git • Flames of Code
Background
In my professional work, Azure DevOps (ADO) ended up being the forge of choice.
While ADO is reliable for standard Git workflows, it falls short when it comes

Earlier this year, after receiving emails from people in the throes of AI psychosis, I stayed in touch with one man as he journeyed to recovery.
I'm grateful to James that he was willing to go on record. He wanted people to know: humanlike chatbots are dangerous.

This book is riveting and so, so infuriating. It follows 5 families in Atlanta who are struggling to remain housed and paints deeply compassionate portraits of each unit. It reads almost like a novel but is outstanding journalism
