Very impressed by how long this stayed secret. We’re in a time where everyone’s constantly letting everything spill out, like we’ve lost control of basic faculties. The ability to be “retentive,” so to speak, is a rare strength. (Hence the Anthropic logo, along with others).

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.
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.
Quotes someone directly, which makes the moment concrete rather than summarised.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: corporate
Written for: People building with AI
