I got in the habit of using Oxford Commas[0]. Not everyone loves them, and I sometimes need to go back, and uncomma stuff.

I got in the habit, because it is better for technical specifications. It makes it clear, to which word an "and" applies. I think it makes reading prose a bit awkward, though.

I've noticed that LLMs really don't seem to like using commas, in general.

I liked the book “Writing in short sentences”. You end up with condensed ideas. The output text is easy to read.

I’m suggesting you to check it out. Then incorporate anything that resonates with you :)

Good article, btw!
