This sounds like a VC forced marriage. I'm like 90% sure that Coda and Grammarly are both under the same VC umbrella.

- wslh 2y agoThe post is quite strange, though. It exaggerates the deal in a very artificial way. For example, "My wife asked me how to think about this — is it a beginning, an end, something in between? I told her that it felt like a clear chapter mark: the end of chapter one. A fantastic opening act behind us, but with many chapters to be written in front of us.".

- notatoad 2y agonot that strange, it's just corporate-speak. that's what all the people writing blog posts on linkedin glorifying their 80-hour weeks sound like.
- wslh 2y agoI have some experience in writing, reading, and editing. While there isn't a single, definitive writing style, it's common to use positive, concise corporate-speak in specific places. However, this piece employs it repeatedly, as seen in phrases like: - "Together, we will build the AI-native suite of the future" - "This represents an opportunity for dramatic acceleration of the Coda product and our mission" - "We plan to weave the best of Coda and Grammarly together. It will combine your company knowledge, generative AI chat features, a full productivity suite, and hundreds of agents to help you work smarter" - "We aim to redefine productivity for the AI era"

- aleph_minus_one 2y ago> While there isn't a single, definitive writing style, it's common to use positive, concise corporate-speak in specific places. In my observation, this is much more common in the USA. In other countries, when using English, this is already less emphasized, and when some other language is used, the writing style becomes even less "exalted".
- brookst 2y agoIs there any indication that it was forced? It’s certainly plausible they people working at companies backed by the same VC would meet and get to know each other.
