a long time ago (like 2 years?), i read a tweet (on the app formerly called twitter) about how patrick collison (stripe CEO) often types like this (with parentheses in the middle of the sentence)

now i can't unsee it whenever someone does it

I do this a lot too (in place of commas (for appositives))

This is the way. Though I’ve exploring dashes - text - more often for nested comments like these

yooo i do this a lot too (for real, kinda feels validating to read someone else has been doing it too)
