In my review, I made a list of much science that happened bc AlphaFold2 code was released. I suggested that so much science will not happen if AlphaFold3 code is not released (or not with AF3 itself). We've made ~100k models with AF2 code. How could we use a server for all that?

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
Uses concrete numbers instead of vague claims, which makes it credible and quotable.
Ends on a question, which is the most reliable way to turn readers into repliers.
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 → Invitation
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal, concrete
Mechanisms: Specificity
Written for: Engineers and technical teams
