Writing style breakdown

- Core style

Conversational, informal, and friendly, but grounded in data and concrete examples.

Feels like a smart, opinionated friend or niche expert talking to you on LinkedIn.

Mixes professional content (salaries, taxes, locations, churn rates) with playful, casual language and emojis.

Promotional, but with a strong informational backbone: value and insights first, mild sales second.

- Formality

Predominantly casual/conversational.

Not slang-heavy in every sentence, but sprinkles in casual elements: "kinda", "ofc", "xD", "stuff".

Uses contractions freely: "you'll", "it's", "I've", "doesn't", etc.

- Emotional tone and energy

Medium-to-high energy.

Uses hype elements at the start ("Insane numbers", "Damn!", "BIG MONEY") to grab attention.

Emotional spikes with emojis and exclamations ("Wow!!", "🥶🥶 Damn!").

Balances excitement with sober, realistic commentary ("But not everything that glitters is gold.", "It's no joke.").

- Frequent rhetorical questions

Worth it? You tell me.

What do you think?

Romania-based folks, what do y'all think?

- Uses contrast and 'but' pivots to introduce nuance

Seems great, definitely IS good. But not everything that glitters is gold.

But don't run to LinkedIn or Euro Top Tech Switzerland just yet!

- Often uses short, standalone impact lines

They get it.

It's no joke.

Wow!!

Relies on real or pseudo-data: "documents with over 900 devs", "5 NEW companies", "fifth spot in the country ranking".

Direct references to his own products, but framed through insight and data rather than pure hype.

- Uses parentheses to add side comments, humor, or clarifications

(some leadership roles reach $300-500k+)

(for black friday / cyber monday)

(it's anonymous ofc)

(my gf said: "this seems more like a book" xD).

- Addressing the reader

Mix of first person ("I", "we") and second person ("you").

Talks about "my audience", "people in my network", "Romania-based folks".

- Uses direct commands but in a friendly, non-pushy way

Check it out in the comments 👇

Contribute to the doc, if you haven't already!

Check the comments for the form!

- Sometimes invites reflection rather than ordering

Worth it? You tell me.

What do you think?

Will be interesting to see how they perform after I publish the rank...

- Voice summary to imitate

Sound like a data-driven, slightly geeky founder/consultant speaking to devs and tech professionals.

Be upbeat but not overly motivational; keep a cool, slightly ironic edge.

Mix data, practical insight, and small glimpses of personal life.

Be direct, but non-aggressive; a mix of "here are the facts" and "here’s my take".
