  • Podcast: Writing as telepathy: AI tools, automation, and an intentionally offline life -- conversation with CT Smith

    Podcast: Writing as telepathy: AI tools, automation, and an intentionally offline life -- conversation with CT Smith
    Jan 4 2026
    In this episode, Fabrizio (passo.uno) and I talk with CT Smith, who writes on a blog at docsgoblin.com and works as a documentation lead for Payabli. Our conversation covers how CT uses AI tools like Claude in her documentation workflow, why she builds tooling that doesn't depend on AI, her many doc-related projects and experiments, and how she balances a tech writing career with an intentionally offline life in rural Tennessee. We also get into reading habits, the fear of skill atrophy from AI reliance, and where the tech writer role might be headed.

    Nov 30 2025
    In this episode, Fabrizio (from passo.uno) and I discuss the concept of documentation theater with auto-generated wikis, why visual IDEs like Antigravity beat CLIs for writing, and the liberation vs. acceleration paradox where AI speeds up work but creates review bottlenecks. We also explore the dilemmas of labeling AI usage, why AI needs a good base of existing docs to function well, and how technical writers can stop doing plumbing work and start focusing on more high-value strategic initiatives instead (efforts that might push the limits of what AI can even do). This post also contains a lot of short...
