Comment on DHH Should Move Rails Off GitHubparent

Serious question for you, without the judgement that it's certainly going to imply. (There's just no way to ask this without sounding snarky.) I'm genuinely curious: is writing so difficult that you need to use AI to help you?

I understand the "dump voice notes -> AI transcription" step, but why the "clean up" and "iterate" steps with AI?

For me it's not about difficulty, it's about friction. BJ Fogg's behavioral model B=MAP says Behavior = Motivation × Ability × Prompt. When you increase ability (lower friction), you get more behavior for the same motivation.

AI lowers my writing friction. Same motivation, more output. I write more, I get feedback faster, I iterate more. That's the value for me.
