With LLMs, communication has never been easier 🫠
For real though, I tend to spend a lot more time editing and revising anything i write than simply writing. Sometimes for my own sake, so i don't forget an important detail or something--but even now as i begin writing this comment i find myself obliged to expand and clarify my thoughts. I want to make sure my statements aren't misunderstood, so i tend to spend a fair amount of time re-reading to make sure the message is clear and the tone matches it.
