The writing style, if not AI, is at least a bit tryhard.

Turning to the substance of the article: why do people feel the need to run this fast? I have certainly experimented with letting coding agents run amok. The first few times you try it, it feels like a superpower. Then you start examining the icky choices they made in a codebase that is now a dense forest. Then you have to expend a bunch of effort beating it back into submission. Or I guess you can YOLO and throw more AI at it, but then I agree with the person quoted saying "at that point, what am I still doing here?" This is not a satisfying or sustainable way to build, and there really is no reason other than hype and FOMO to do it.

> I don't think it is AI, but I bet it has been through editing/review to match a corporate style. LLMs were trained on this.

My standard reply to claims like this is: post a pre-2022 link with an LLM style that matches your claims.

Usually people claim "LLMs sound like the way they do because that's how people write". Your claim is only a little different: "LLMs sound like the way they do because that's how corporate writes".

You may be correct, but I'd still like to see a pre-2022 link confirming this.

It's AI. https://www.pangram.com/history/09db86cf-37fb-4b27-94bf-a9f2...
