Clear written and verbal communication is as important a skill for developers as writing good code. Yet many of us were taught poor writing skills in school and struggle to unlearn those lessons.

Willpower is like a muscle that needs to rest between exercises, or a gas tank that needs to be filled up between long trips. Modern software developers have tools to automate lots of those tiny choices we make as we code. It's time to embrace the fact we live in the 21st century and let the robots do it.
