Yes. I read the whole article thinking that this must have been generated by LLM, because at least the style remembers it.

Glad I wasn’t the only one who thought this. The post is also missing one obvious thing that I expect in any technical post: code snippets. Let me see the code.

ChatGPT has ruined bullet points for the rest of us…

No offense but writing this blog post couldn’t take more than a few minutes, why spoil it with LLM? Shoot, use one to check grammar and recommend edits even.

They came for the em dashes, and I did not speak up. Then they came for the bullet points, and I did not speak up..

Exactly thought the same. Reading experience of the post would have been definitely improved, with less text.
