Why it worked

Uses short lines and white space, which makes a long post feel quick to read.
Follows a clear Hook → Turn → Context → Turn → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Turn → Context → Turn → Landing
Style: Short lines with heavy white space, built to be scanned.
Tone: personal, punchy
Written for: People building with AI
