> I think the author's leaning heavily on vibes to do the convincing here.
I have no idea what you're trying to express in your comment, so who's using vibes?*
Were you triggered by the word "caring?" A waiter usually cares that the people they're serving have an enjoyable meal. It doesn't mean that they love them, it means that they think the work of feeding people is purposeful and honest (and theirs.)

[*] It's certainly not in the words; I don't know what made you angry about "joy," I don't know why you think the author does not teach writing skills in "communications," I don't know why the fact that you went through multiple drafts in writing school papers is relevant or different than anyone else's experience. Maybe that's over now. Maybe I actually don't care if you use AI for your second and further drafts, if I know you can write a first draft.
Why would you assume I was angry? (Where is your snark coming from?)
Drafting and redrafting a cumulative course paper, as well as iteratively honing a thesis, is a writing skill.
I would argue it as important than demonstrating recall and interconnection of the material. It is being lost if long-term work on papers is being replaced with 3-hour blue-book essays.
That is why I thought it was relevant. That's it.
