I can’t handle reading articles that seem to be AI assisted text. It is incredibly grating. I wish HN had an AI filter or something.
This article seems to be worse than most, as if someone's deliberately overused the LLM tropes as much as possible. This is not good. It's bad. This is not human. It's AI. This is not nice to read. It's awful.
I agree that the text is unpleasant to read.
I also dislike the title ("What we learned when a user tried to load a massive GML file in a browser") - it's hard to imagine that someone who had tried to build a viewer for geospatial data would not already know the answer (paraphrasing, "tiling the data will be necessary to achieve acceptable performance, and there are standard methods to do this")
