alt Hacker News[Metapost] Can we unflag this? It's a good resource and shouldn't be suppressed just because some people don't like the tone.

Hi, OP here. Thanks for this.
I don’t seem to have cracked the Hacker News writing formula yet. A few years ago I got similar feedback, but for the opposite reason: people complained that my English felt awkward because I’m not a native speaker. This time I asked an LLM to smooth out the wording, and it seems I accidentally outsourced my personality too.
The content and research are mine. I spent a few hours trying to collect all the moving pieces into something I wish I’d had as someone returning to frontend after many years away. It was just meant to save a few fellow dinosaurs from opening 47 tabs and wondering why they suddenly need seven package managers.
No, there's no reason for slop to be posted here. If we wanted it we could just generate it ourselves.
