Not going to read something where the author can't do the basic courtesy to the reader of using capitalization.

that is your prerogative, but this seems to me far more discourteous than somebody putting information down in a format you're perfectly capable of reading yet dislike.

haha that's a style choice (takes more work to get lowercase text these days). But yeah legit ;-)

I found it more peculiar that "LM" was capitalized. I know the style is very trendy in certain circles right now, but it is a bit puzzling for me.

Nice piece.

Right now the skills you describe are definitely relevant. At work I'm regularly reviewing smelly changes, both from my own agents and others'. I'm wonder if this smell will always be present or if it will go away entirely, leaving the smell detector skills irrelevant.

From the bio: i’m a researcher (working in healthcare). I try to consume content — books, papers, posts, podcasts, whatever — and started writing to figure out what I actually think about it all. This is writing from the edge of understanding. Hopefully, less about “here’s what I know” and more about “here’s what I’m trying to work out.” Rough edges included.
