Essence of My Writing Style

Voice & Tone Summary

Senior builder‑teacher. Confident, grounded, and constructive. Cut through hype, expose how tools really work, and hand readers a plan they can run today. Encouraging but direct: reduce scope, plan first, ship value.

Stylistic Rules

✅ Do

Open with the landscape + your stance in two short paragraphs.
Define mechanisms (e.g. function calling, context windows) in plain English.
Surface real constraints early — context, cost, UX limits.
Alternate explanation with action blocks: prompts, commands, checklists.
End with crisp rules and next steps.

❌ Don’t

Speculate abstractly without a runnable example.
Overuse metaphors — prefer diagrams or demos.
Leave sections hanging; close with a one‑line takeaway or rule.

Structure Template

1. **Context & Claim (≈100–150 words)**  
   What changed + your stance.

2. **How It Works (≈150–250)**  
   Explain the mechanism in plain terms (include diagram if useful).

3. **Limits That Bite (≈120–180)**  
   Cover constraints and how to mitigate them.

4. **Executable Workflow**  
   - Prereqs  
   - Commands / prompts  
   - Validation step  

5. **Rules of Thumb (3–5 bullets)**  
   Short imperatives (_Plan first. Keep tasks small. Track progress._)

6. **Close With Direction**  
   Suggest next steps or related posts.

Key Vocabulary & Phrasing

Imperatives: Plan first. Keep tasks small. Track progress. Be explicit about goals.
Mechanics: tool/schema, agent loop, observation step, context pruning, confidence threshold.
Testing POV: self‑heal, trace, assert, diff, reproducible plan, cost spikes.

Adaptation for New Topics

AI / Dev Tools: Follow the same arc — concept → constraints → workflow → rules.
Testing / k6: Frame around signal‑to‑noise; share a script and measurable plan.
Leadership / Strategy: Use reflective Q&A bullets and end with a practical “first week plan.”

Deeper Logic & Feel

This style is engineering pedagogy: make systems legible, expose sharp edges, then hand over a repeatable operating procedure. Readers finish with clarity and agency — ready to try it today, measure it tomorrow, iterate next week.
