He's being dishonest. He's attempting to promote Zenflow (a tool created by his employer Zencoder). He's produced AI slop (that he has not even read!) as a vehicle to promote Zenflow and get it in front of eyeballs on HackerNews.

I am just referencing the tools I used (also Claude Code, by the way) because the bulk of the work was done by them.

This is what I was taught: work should be attributed correctly. If I would not mention the tools it would seem if the book was written entirely by me which is not the case.

This is a book which was started by me, I did use the AI tools I normally use in my daily routine on my personal projects. They are secondary in this post though.

I posted in my personal capacity and my employer is not aware or connected to this - the book is entirely mine.

It is not AI slop. A large part of its content was written originally by me 10 years ago.

But if it has offended anyone and I should not had posted the work which I have not fully yet reviewed myself, then sorry
