Preface: not an american

Uber offshored some parts of their engineering so all the new-ish blogs fit the stereotypes. Lazy written, LLM generated, by their offshore indian folks.

Make of that what you want.

Without any proof you have resorted to some blatant racism. Sheesh

What part of that sentence is racist??

The bit with the implication that only offshore engineers would use LLMs to write blog posts, while the intellectually and morally superior engineers in the US would never stoop to such depths.

(Especially hilarious given it's Uber, which obviously could never have engineers doing anything morally dubious ever /s)

> only offshore engineers would use LLMs to write blog posts

I don’t see that implication in the original post.

While I agree a subtle racist undertone is there, perhaps without intention (implying that all off-shored tasks will be done lazily), the more important part is that the article does really read like an LLM-generated slop (perhaps with some editing afterwards). Has all the typical 'markers', such as bloated text and overemphasized structure, etc. with the highlight for me personally being the "conclusion". It is so clear that the first paragraph was spit out by an LLM.
