Proofreading an essay before submitting it is an anti pattern?

you don't proof read your speech writer. politicians don't even know what they will read until they start reading in the podium for example. ...not that i think it's good, but people have stopped caring mostly

And politicians are a famously well-loved group of people

The good ones are and I don’t even need to name names.

Good politicians do. They at least skim it to see where to add emphasis and the points they want to promote.

Really good politicians work with their speechwriters to get across exactly what they want to communicate.

i guarantee you even good politicians only pre-read important speeches.

during campaign, you spew so much bs, and to so many demographics, you would be hindered by thinking about what youre talkinh, sadly.

Do you proofread the compiler’s output?

The compiler's output is reproducible and trustable in the extreme majority of the cases, as opposed to the piles of dogshit trained on the worst javascript practices that LLMs put out nondeterministically.
