I am advocating for the smart use of AI to write content. This morning I read a well-known CEO state that he was "changing the way he writes, because AI sounds like him." He's altering his own voice because AI has picked up his patterns, and he considers his writing good. His response is to write differently. I think that's completely miss-guided. The people calling everything "AI slop" and demanding we stop using it are engaged in an argument they will never win. AI is getting more powerful, not less. It's not retreating. Treating it like a problem to be resisted is like arguing against electricity because someone left the lights on. Here's what matters: the human origin of an idea. That's the real line. Not whether AI touched the content, but whether a real person originated the thought. When AI writes autonomously with no human in the loop, no genuine perspective behind it, that's the failure. That's what people are reacting to, even if they're blaming the wrong thing. The intelligent version looks different. You speak your thinking. Rough, unpolished, in your own voice. AI takes that and handles the formatting, the editing, the reformatting for a different platform. Your idea stays intact. The friction disappears. Nobody wants to spend two hours turning a sharp observation into a LinkedIn post and then another hour reshaping it for a different destination. That's not a good use of anyone's time. But losing the idea entirely because you didn't have time to write it up properly is worse. AI augmented content, where the human speaks and the system handles production, is the version worth defending. Not because it's convenient, though it is. Because it's how more real thinking actually reaches people. What's your take on this?

- X (Twitter)Working on something for weeks doesn't make it good. I've been building my app for a while now. Careful architecture. Real testing. Work I genuinely put time and thought into. And I just made the call to delete a lot of it. Not because it was bad work. Because the place I'm in now is different from where I started. And not everything that made sense at the beginning still makes sense today. There's a name for the trap I had to avoid. The sunk cost fallacy. The idea that because you invested in something, you have to keep it. That the hours justify the output. They don't. The work doesn't become valuable just because it was hard. So I cut it. And here's the thing: simplicity is almost always better. Not sometimes. Almost always. Complexity creeps in quietly, feature by feature, decision by decision, until you look up and realize you've built something that nobody, including you, fully understands anymore. The clean version is harder to ship because it feels like you're leaving something on the table. You're not. You're leaving the table clear enough to actually eat at. Simplicity is almost always better.
