Idk if i am now seeing this pattern everywhere because it is all AI slop or if people really do write this way.
Skimming it, this looks like they got a partnership with amd and tacked it onto an ongoing project as if it were planned. This confuses us as it makes it harder to understand how much was the rewrite generally or was it some hardware thing? Man, i used to really enjoy cloudflares technical blogs.
Cloudflare has excellent (human) technical writers. I don’t see any indication this is “slop”, it’s the standard in-the-weeds but understandable blog post they’ve been doing for years.
AI text is everywhere, but this isn’t it.
