    This post was so refreshing to read, because it reminds me of a time of solid engineering & writing in a pre-AI era.

    I’m afraid posts like this might become fleeting.

      looks like a large chunk of this was written by claude though :(

      the technical parts are fresh as ever but the writing style is awful, man

        The writing style is similar to the other articles by the same author. He has been doing this for years. I have no idea what your problem with the actual content is.

          idk, it really feels like it was redacted by LLM. At least the content is good as usual.

          I've been reading these since the .NET 5 performance improvements blogpost. Again, the content is ever-sharp but the style is so full of claudisms it's next to unbearable to read. I'm not anti-AI by any means, I just find it annoying, that's it really.

        Agree. A whole tree of comments agreeing with you is not appearing on this post because that's how HN works.

        I loathe LLM prose, no matter who posts it. It earns a quick cmd+w.

        My prizes for spending the internet points to say this are the joy of resisting normalization of illiteracy and a tacit camaraderie with the hundreds of others who agree but won't comment or upvote.

          I don't know if it's even possible anymore to write a detailed, technical article without a swarm of people showing this reaction.

          1. sltr · · focus · HN ↗
            Detailed, technical articles appreciated. LLM prose, not.

      Really? I got bored throughout the 7 paragraph (or whatever number) in unrelated introduction.

        This is what tiktok and vibe coding do to a mf's attention span

          Of course you enjoy the llm-generated token vomit in this blog post.

            This is what xenophobia does to a mf's brain

      I thought the exact opposite a few lines in, and that's a shame because I'm genuinely interested. But it was unreadable.
