This article smells so strongly of AI that I'd be surprised if the author did much of any writing.

I found the article itself very informative and not particularly ai-tastic. But then I got to that infographic at the end. Holy smokes was that disappointing. It seems clear they didn't even bother to read the captions the AI scribbled.

It starts out alright, and then ends with a pile of classic Claude-isms and an unreadable slop graphic. Like the author got bored of writing it halfway through.

The summary of various frameworks and languages available is very concise and informative though.
