My AI-driven identity crisis

I love coding. I love writing. I love writing about coding, as evidenced by the archives of this blog and the multiple tech books I have written. I’ve always prided myself on being able to explain things clearly. I have a unique ability to identify the order in which to teach concepts. I have enough five star reviews on my books to know that there are plenty of readers out there who agree with me.

As a member, separately, of the programming and writing communities, I’ve seen plenty of excitement, agitation, skepticism, and consternation about the rapidly evolving AI revolution. I’m very comfortable with the language, but I need to understand Erlang and OTP a lot better before I can include chapters on it, so I’ve been building some sample applications using those libraries. People who think my writing is too familiar or too verbose (the most common complaints in the relatively few negative reviews I’ve received) may be able to get the AI to explain it in a way that works better for them.
