Nice project but the writing smells so much of LLM that I didn't manage to finish the article

I read it through. There have always been articles, even before LLMs, that exceed your personal "drivel" threshold, that you abandon. That's ultimately what matters, do you want to keep reading or not.

but now the drivel all sounds the same, a uniform pablum changing slightly with every model update.

That was much rarer though. Now the sad norm is someone's idea, AI code with AI docs and AI "article".

I'm not spending my time on reading something someone claims it's not important enough to write or at least edit. At most I'll send my LLM to check if there's anything useful in the code (but i don't reuse it because I know my harness and tests are sound, not sure about someone so lazy).
