So I created this blog from scratch, and after posting my first article I noticed something.

I suffer from post-Post clarity

I have noticied before when posting random bullshit online, but holy shit, now having to write longer stuff, it’s clear as day.

As soon as I press the publish button even after re-reading the whole thing, everywhere I look is spelling/grammar mistakes and stupid takes.

How in hell does this happen?

Anyways as a proof of concept any edit will be in comment thread.

    Nope, you’re not alone. I sometimes write a lengthy reply, read it, reread it, and before I get sucked into that overthinking loop, press “post” and go do something else.

    I then find myself returning to my reply and re-reading it, often catching mistakes in spelling, grammar, or worse, in how I stated or presented my idea. That’s why a lot of my replies end up being edited after the fact, with a note saying why I felt I had to edit my response.
