    Stop warming up. State your thesis in the first paragraph. I learned this the hard way. 🎯

    I just got a paper back with a comment that hurt but was totally fair: "I didn't know what your argument was until page 3." Page 3! No wonder my professor was confused. I'd spent two pages "setting the stage," "providing context," "introducing the topic." Basically, I was warming up. And my...

    The best answer to "what is technical writing" I've heard

    Professor said this on the first day and it stuck with me: ✨ "Technical writing is the opposite of poetry. Poetry makes the familiar strange. Technical writing makes the strange familiar." That's it. That's the whole thing. Poetry takes ordinary language and twists it to make you see...

    A positive debate: how to detect AI writing vs human creativity?

    I'm a computer science student with a minor in philosophy, so my brain is basically a battlefield of logic and abstract thought 24/7. I've been following the AI writing conversation with tons of interest, and I wanted to throw a slightly different question into the ring. We all know how to spot...
