Overworking the dough

11 December 2024

When kneading bread, you can overwork the dough.

Knead it too much, and the gluten breaks down.

The bread becomes tough, dense, loses its soul. The same happens when editing LLM texts.

Edit, refine, polish. Until the original spark dies.

Until the words become sterile.

Until the message loses its punch. Like bread, writing needs room to breathe.
