Body
Hey [Name], Came across this thing called The Clearing — it's a free site for engineers feeling kind of fried from all the AI tooling. It's not woo-woo or corporate wellness. It's actually made by engineers for engineers. The AI Fatigue Quiz hit pretty close to home for me. Might be worth 5 minutes of your time if you've been feeling a bit off lately. No email signup required or anything. Just putting it out there in case it's useful. [Your name]
