Looks good. I left some minor comments.
high level feedback is to make some parts more personal with examples / feelings

I also suggest to check with @burkeholland on his thoughts - since he was just top on hacker news :)

@joaomoreno Nice post and like how it's structured. I left some feedback about adding some additional context but nothing major.

Important: make sure to put the files in a year/month/day folder, otherwise the post won't show up.

Looks great. I really like it!

@burkeholland sometimes ignores his GH mentions so I pinged him on teams so we get his take as well.

LOVE this post. I think that the real story here is how you, as a senior engineering manager with a ton of experience, got a ton of value out of AI and solved a really hard problem without devoting a significant amount of time to it. The argument for AI is currently that it's not helpful for hard things - this article proves otherwise.

Any image that is representative for the blog post. A screenshot of the website search experience would do.
