Realise it’s trendy to dunk on bullet points right now, but you do realise that they existed before AI. And they are an incredibly effective way of writing for certain audiences.

It’s amusing watching people’s egos go stratospheric when they mistake luck and being the massive beneficiaries of the work and foresight of others for some sort of strategic brilliance on their part.
