Did you use LLM to write parts of the article?
> The trouble with guessing who’s calling is that you can’t anticipate every caller. Pendulum’s hard-coded check is fragile: it covers only one name, and relies on an exact call stack that Pendulum doesn’t control.
Edit: it looks like the later parts of the article show a lot of LLM tells, but not the beginning. I've been seeing this pop up more and more lately...
