Why it worked

Uses concrete numbers instead of vague claims, which makes it credible and quotable.
Points at real customers, users or results as evidence rather than assertion.
Follows a clear Hook → Context → 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.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Context → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: energetic, concrete, punchy
Mechanisms: Specificity, Social proof
Written for: Engineers and technical teams
