What's up with the bullet points? This almost reads like a ChatGPT/AI comment, which is especially weird for a personal recollection. Are people writing like frickin robots now?

Don’t be an ass. People used lists before LLMs.

They’re just lucky I didn’t have a big run-on sentence, like I used to before taking a serious look at how ADHD affected my writing and thought processes, including significant use of parentheticals (because every thought comes with a couple of extra thoughts, for free!)

:D

If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter.

The more time I have, the more of those extra thoughts I can decide aren't really important.

> every thought comes with a couple of extra thoughts, for free!

Bonus points if you branch deep enough to lose the original thought.

Lol that’s how I’ve written for 25 years. I’m flattered that LLMs are copying me.
