Writing
08 May 2025
I have shared a fantastic piece on Writing and AI last year.
Reflecting on this topic again, I just wrapped up writing several emails, Slack messages, Linear updates, and Gen-AI prompts for a Laravel-based simulator I’m working on. It’s clear how much inefficiency arises when people struggle to articulate their technical issues. This often leads to unnecessary loops involving more people and more messages back and forth. A simple, clear, and concise write-up could have resolved the matter far more effectively!
This got me thinking again.
I can’t even stress how important communication and writing are when working in software teams (remote even more) today. Earlier, it was emails. Then came async team chat like Slack. Now, add communicating effective prompts with Gen-AI. Writing will always remain the most important skill to be effective!
I have started to hire for superior communication and writing amongst developers(challenging in Mumbai, India but you gotta keep looking!!!)
