pixlpa · x · 2026-10-10
Responding to "now is the time to write," pixlpa argues software can make users think "Wow, I love the people behind it" — if you commit to loving the people who use it. Software is like food: you can feel the love when it's there. The quoted post adds that writing is an artifact where you think of the creator in every word, which is why creative/marketing writing roles resist AI — you need a person who believes in the mission.
