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 experience and curious if anyone else has found meaning by doing

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, it's best to start quietly looking for an

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, and what stuck with me is how quickly I was convinced by AI

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 flaws and polish grammar, but the ideas, narrative, and stru

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 heavily relying on AI for editing and grammar to get my ide

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 wants to share that journey. As an example and not the real

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 almost instantly disappeared. That’s really what the piece was

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 dating app that went viral and became a security nightmare.

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 aiming to be the next Hemingway, I just want to share experien

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 own way because it gave me the push i needed. It gave me co

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 to convince us so quickly, which is why I wrote about safe

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 a solo dev. Lately, I’ve been leaning into the creative sid

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, I know the whole SEO catchy game. I just have a big imagi

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’ve been going back to those early pieces and slowly updatin

My wife and I bounce ideas around all the time for fun. She would’ve registered the domain anyway because she believed in it, and that’s what really matters to me is conviction and passion. What worries me is when AI interrupts that, and pe

The difference I was trying to highlight isn’t that AI was “right,” but how confidently it answered, and how quickly that persuaded me. If my wife had made the same arguments in the same polished way, I probably would’ve caved just as fast

Yes, author here. I’m not against AI at all, blogging and storytelling are a new adventure for me. At first I leaned on AI pretty heavily as my “editor-in-chief” to save time. Later, it’s become more of an opinionated buddy I bounce ideas
