Why ruin good work by letting Claude write it all? Full of em dashes, riddled with Claudisms.

i did a quick scroll and was happy to see a long-ish article on XLA and TPUs. then i realized it was literally just "using vmap for parallel loops is better than fori", but in massively wordy claudisms.

I personally don't mind letting Claude write about work.

You could spend 80% doing the work and 20% writing about it, or 99% doing the work and 1% copy-pasting Claude's writeup about it into a blog.

There is nothing wrong with writing if you are into it, and yes you can probably do better than Claude, but I can related to engineers who just want to build.

Why let an obsession with writing style prevent you from learning from a reasonably decent writeup?
