Markdown ate the world

My thoughts on Markdown ate the world: Markdown ate the world

Commentary

• Markdown ate the world
• This is really intriguing, I though markdown was old than docx. But its not it was there after 2004, that is quite a recent thing. Just over two decades. And it has changed the way people write.
• I think majority of the non-tech people still use docx and whatever doc format is for Microsoft Word. Its just works you know. And if it doesn’t work it just doesn’t work. Nothing in between. But markdown always works. Anyways, who can convince them. Microsoft has a deep foot in the minds of people.
• With LLMs, markdown just became a standard now. Everyone knows it, its simple with just enough structure to separate it out from plain text. Just the right balance but dead simple.
