A good bit during the editing process. Pop into Claude code to examine where the tone drifted, where the argument lost coherence, etc.

- daveguy 10mo agoHey, original a-hole here. Just wanted to chime in (even though you probably don't want advice from me after that a-holery). I don't think LLMs are good for editing at all. They make things more wordy and obtuse. But editing is supposed to add clarity, especially in technical writing. Generally, the more you can remove while conveying the ideas the better. Honestly, I expect your original writing was better before using Claude. Sorry again for being so harsh in the first place.
- alivetoad 10mo agoReplying to both comments here You're all good in my book, don't sweat it. I really do welcome the feedback. I am just some yokel from the internet, the burden is on me to write ~well enough so that reading 10k words isn't an enormous waste of time. Definitely rusty, but a little less so after wrestling with this one. I'm still ironing out my process, but writing more is the only way to get that sorted.
