The Line at the Bottom of My Posts

People ask about the line at the bottom of my posts. Here’s the honest workflow behind it.

Every post starts with a filter, not a prompt: can I stand in this as a builder? If I haven’t architected it, shipped it, or personally broken it, it doesn’t get written — no matter how well it would perform.

Then AI earns its keep. It scans the news faster than I can. It drafts faster than I can. And before anything goes out, it argues with me — I have it attack the post the way a skeptical reader would, and the weak claims die in private.

What it never does is decide. It doesn’t pick the topic, the position, or the line I’m willing to defend in the comments. The judgment layer stays human, because that’s the only part anyone is actually here for.

If AI could write this post alone, you’d have scrolled past it already.

So the line isn’t a disclaimer. It’s a division of labor.

Drafted with AI. Sharpened by me. The thinking is mine.
