@danluu Excellent post!

> if you have opinions on these quick writeups, let me know

This post was valuable and entertaining and written in a voice that is enjoyable to read. I would have probably skipped it if I sensed LLM-speak. I think you've hit on an excellent posting process/technique, and I love that it was shorter than previous posts (I think). Hope to read more! Thanks. 💯

@lvk It does!

I didn't realize you were a Milkytracker maintainer. Thank you for your efforts!
