I asked ChatGPT to suggest some copy for the launch newsletter I’m sending out about #12in23. It’s suggestion was so much better than what I had…

I wrote: I am launching a new product called #12in23 which encourages people to try out 12 different programming languages during 2023. What would the copy for a launch newsletter be? I want the content to be friendly and chatty but authoritative. Here is an example of how you might write the launch newsletter for your new product #12in23. ChatGPT replied: Hi there! We're excited to announce the launch of #12in23, a new challenge that encourages people to try out 12 different programming languages during the year 2023. We know that learning a new programming language can be intimidating, but it's also one of the most rewarding things you can do for your career.

Not having spent many minutes writing it, you are less practiced in critiquing it. Does this not largely explain your experience?

[…] a […] way for people to step out of their comfort zone […]

This sounds good. Please let it be true! It is easy to fall into the let’s learn yet another syntax for basically the same thing trap.

[…] on our online community.

Does this wording accurately convey your meaning? To me (a nonnative speaker) it seems a bit odd and possibly too specific.

[…] you’ll have gained […] a deeper understanding of how programming languages work.

This is not presently taught by Exercism, nor is learning about it explicitly facilitated. It seems like a noble goal, but I think extra material (‘content’?) is needed to achieve it – through Exercism I mean.
