Tau: Open-source PaaS – A self-hosted Vercel / Netlify / Cloudflare alternative

Looks compelling, but the docs are extremely vague and full of fluff. The "Why One Binary" is hilariously bad. Almost feels like content to impress managers/recruiters.

Pretty much all of the docs are very clearly the output of what the typical LLM produces. It's just words, no meaning.

Nothing like “docs by LLM” to warn you about the quality of the code you’re about to trust your entire infrastructure to.

I thought you were probably exaggerating… you were not.

Wow, this is the most shameless piece of garbage I've seen. Using an LLM to clean up and polish? Fine. But this? It's like two words of content that's been expanded to a wall of gobbledygook.

Starting off with "In the realm of..." instantly gave it away

Agree the author should not lead with THAT copy! If you dig down though (I did) there’s quite a bit of technical documentation that I found interesting. “Different” for sure.
