| I find the above quote so wonderful, and if you have time I cannot recommend enough that you read the entire post from Oxide. | ||

| Last week, I received my first LLM generated email response. |

Hyphenated 'LLM-generated' as it is a compound modifier preceding the noun 'email'.

| I cannot know for sure it was LLM generated, but there were hints in the prose, content and timing. A large portion of the email was written in markdown -- which is something no human does in an email, and then there was the "You're absolutely right!! ... " response we've all seen in our chats. Finally, it was also filled with a general level of 'excitement' most humans never have, and the entire email lacked a 'soul'. |

Hyphenated 'LLM-generated' for consistency and capitalized 'Markdown' as it is a proper noun.

| Writing is thinking clearly. | ||

| If you abdicate this to an LLM, you've stopped thinking, and your 'content' does not deserve anyone's time. With code this is even more pronounced. A pull-request, even a badly written one, if created by a human, is deserving of at least a review -- but a pull-request written automatically by AI in seconds, with minimal effort is deserving of nothing! |

Changed 'pull-request' to 'pull request' (noun form) and added a comma after 'effort' to close the parenthetical phrase.

| Amazon's writing culture was a remarkable thing, a culture that is now being eaten alive by GenAI slop (apparently!). Writing is a wonderful thing; you can bluff your way through a slide-deck or a verbal presentation, but it's impossible to bluff your way through a written 6-page document. |
