Was a bit bummed that this wasn't Logo (the programming language), but the content was well-written, and engaging, and the honesty about AI usage was refreshing and for once felt appropriate.

To come full circle, a bit curious if programming this in Logo (or some other vector graphics programming system) would be an interesting/useful exercise.

Yeah, the AI percentage usage thing is even a badge on the article which was a neat design touch too.

I like this disclosure and approach. I had a very similar idea to use a label or tag to show on blog posts that I refine with help of AI. Havent gitten around ti implementing it yet. will take some inspiration from this.

One thing AI will reveal is a lack of prose in people’s writing. The way most of this post is written is, well, kind of stilted. I don’t have a better word for it. Some people read it and equate to an LLM output.

The way it ends is all over the place:

“I have a name in my head for the repair side, and two cameras on the desk, and no idea yet whether any of it becomes a real thing. A mute mark does not force me to decide. It works as the logo of a freelance developer today, it would work on a box tomorrow, and it does not look silly either way.

Which is roughly what the component does.

It holds because it is not closed.”

Tempted to try it as a follow-up now. And sorry for the naming collision.

Thanks, and thanks for putting it here in the first place!

Go for it! Mine is just a hand-set percentage per post.

I'd love to see that!

That said, this is a powerful argument for _not_ capitalizing all words in a title and:

>A deep logo study (dannyspina.com)

would have been clearer.
