Ask HN: A story about a research adviser who automated himself

11 pointsby georgievover 8 years ago
Some time ago I read a story here about a researcher who automated his paper critiques. The scripts detected weak sentences or something. I've been rummaging for about 2 hours through my bookmarks, history and HN history and I can't find it. Did anyone remember facts about that story, bookmarks or direct links? That would be much appreciated.

Was it Matt Might? He wrote &quot;3 shell scripts to improve your writing, or &#x27;My Ph.D. advisor rewrote himself in bash.&#x27;&quot;<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;matt.might.net&#x2F;articles&#x2F;shell-scripts-for-passive-voice-weasel-words-duplicates&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;matt.might.net&#x2F;articles&#x2F;shell-scripts-for-passive-voi...</a>
