Good article, but the ChatGPT voice here is strong.
> When you check in, you’re ready to act – without first sifting through a pile of unresolved issues.
> That’s not just a nice feeling – it’s practical. The UI is cleaner. The choices are fewer. The next step is obvious.
> It’s not about urgency. You don’t have to check constantly. Once a day, once a week: what matters is returning to zero with some rhythm.
It's tough for me to assess credibility of authors like this–is this just a DeepResearch report or someone using ChatGPT to clean up an authentic post?

I'm glad you liked it minus the tone-of-voice.
I do use GenAI tools in the creative process but try to not have that shine through too much; given the quote in the above I'd admit I might not have succeeded entirely.
Part of it is unrelated to ChatGPT per se; for writing on the internet finding a style that is "pointy" (people don't actually read, see Jakob Nielsen) while at the same time not sounding like a bunch of SEO drivel is a balancing act.

OP here
I got the idea for this blogpost well before I started working on Bugsink; it's always surprised me how many developers/teams are perfectly happy to marinate in a proverbial sewer of bugs and then act all surprised once the phone rings and everyone has to be in "all hands on deck" mode. Clean up your working environments people...
