This is covered in Claudeish, had to stop reading. I have to read enough of this at work...

>What sits behind them is a calibre I had to solve the way a real one is solved, and this is why I bother.

>A skeleton is a load-bearing machine with the metal taken away down to the last safe gram, so what is left is whatever carries a force, and no spoke is wider than its job.

>Running and buildable are different questions, and the second is harder.

>A drawn movement is a claim. Before anything gets a surface, I test it as a machine.

If this isn't Claude-prose then the author has been reading too much of it...

(oh, Pangram gives the entire thing 100%)

I think "load-bearing" and "surface" is what gives it away. It continues to perplex me how something trained on human-written English ends up producing such output. It's much worse than the classic em-dashes and "it's not X, it's Y" (but maybe that was a different LLM?)

I didn't recognize Claude but the thing was unreadable and after a while I figured out it must be AI.

Came here to say the same thing, glad I'm not the only one. Unreadable

Give them some grace. The author is a Czech developer likely using AI to help write in a second language or translating.
