   Writing is thinking in every situation, not just limited to commit messages. This is a fact that I'm concerned people are forgetting, or worse never understood to begin with.

      Did you think about this comment or are you just repeating something you heard and that’s been said in every discussion on HN about writing and AI?

         I read the linked article, thought the idea was generalizable, and posted that thought. Something wrong with that?

            "Writing is thinking" is being repeated all the time lately to the point it seems like a meme.

               Does that make it untrue?

                  I would say probably most memeing is not really thought provoking or inducing. I agree most of the time writing can help collect one's thoughts but it can also be completely thoughtless. Probably what matters more is the specific process.
