I burned out after building a large B2B project that got canceled two weeks before launch. A year later, I found myself learning Sumerian for no reason at all. Just sharing my expe…

Very insightful. I can relate. Thanks for sharing!

Wow! Amazing collection,a visual history of Neuromancer. Thanks for sharing this!

I'm sharing a piece inspired by a fellow HN member who asked what to do when dealing with a bad manager. IMHO, and from someone who's lived this, unless you're a founding member, i…

I do tend to write more fluff than substance, working on it. Thanks for the comment.

I think that part may have been misunderstood. My wife wasn’t upset about me being argumentative, her point was that it bothered her I was convinced by the AI, rather than by her, …

Hey ModernMech, being transparent here and appreciate your take on this. I always start from a blank page and go through several drafts. I do run my raw format through AI to fix fl…

Didn’t expect this one to get flagged, thank you everyone for the great feedback.Learning as a i go.

Well said, AI definitely amplifies agendas, and the lure of “bigger, better, more profitable” usually beats the status quo.

What if that’s not me? I guess I’ll need to practice my “F- this s#!” reps and work my way up.

Your comment is appreciated and heard. That’s the beauty of learning new things, you try, you stumble, and you learn from your mistakes. As I’ve shared before, my blog started out …

To nourish your curiosity, the real domain was meant as a community platform to help others going through something personal my wife has experienced. She has a beautiful soul and w…

Agreed, creativity is very subjective. My point wasn’t about who was right or wrong. What unsettled me was how, the moment AI gave its opinion, my own questioning and reasoning alm…

Yes, that’s always been true. What feels different now is the volume of undermining authority that’s popped up and how so many people feel overconfident. For example, that recent d…

You’re right, and that’s fantastic advice for anyone serious about the craft of writing. For me, it’s always been more about the message and story than the craft itself. I’m not ai…

Nicely said. Do you mind if I quote you in a future piece? You are right. My perfectionism held me back at first. AI gave me a quick way “in,” which turned out to be helpful in its…

Not sure where the “blasting people” take is coming from. I’m not for or against it, people should use whatever tools work for them. I do have a few real concerns, like its ability…

Hey ModernMech, Ed Nite here. Not AI, just a guy with too much imagination (and yes, a pen name). I’m a real software dev who’s spent years building and supporting B2B platforms as…

You are right, but I am trying to get at is that AI makes those “shadows” look sharper and more convincing, so it’s even easier to mistake them for truth.

Thanks for your comment. I’m proud that the blog is getting some attention because I really do put a lot into it. After a career working through RFP fluff, websites, and blog copy,…

Author here. My early posts were pretty heavily AI-edited, honestly just me trying to save time since I write these after hours (and for devs, “after hours” usually means late). I’…
