About the developer
Conor Bronsdon
I work in developer tools and AI infrastructure. Currently Head of Technical Ecosystem at Modular AI (the company behind Mojo and the MAX inference platform). Before that I ran developer marketing at Galileo and LinearB.
I host the Chain of Thought podcast, where I interview the people building the AI tools and infrastructure that developers actually use. The podcast covers the engineering side of AI. Not hype, not predictions. The work.
Why I built this
I write a lot: LinkedIn posts, newsletter editions, podcast show notes, blog posts. I use AI tools to help draft. And I kept catching the same patterns in my own output: the em dashes, the hollow transitions, the too-clean structure.
So I built a Claude Code skill to catch them for me. I open-sourced it because the problem isn't unique to me. It went viral. The community created a meme coin around it. I leaned in and built utility.
That's the whole story. No grand plan. Just a tool that solved my problem, and a community that ran with it. Read the full project story on the mission page.
