Or maybe English isn't the writers first language? It does seem to contain an odd amount of things that seems completely random.

Naw. He has links to a podcast where you can hear him speak. The "Asian Hour" lol. His english is legit. The man Linus is real... the post, however, could be GPT-3. Definitely doesn't match up with his talking.
Good research. Is this going to become common from now on? What do we do when AI content and human content are indistinguishable?
We'll do what we always did: ignore the drivel and the disjointed garbage and sift out the information.

In this case, it doesn't matter whether it's GP-3 or not, it is a no-content blog post of which you can find hundreds of thousands of other examples, none of which have any new information in them. We get it: the way some people have built up tech careers as being something exciting can prove to be very disappointing when you're on your 3rd CRUD page of the day. It's still better than being a soul-less HR monkey or a Jira happy middle manager.

Yet this can sit on the first page and novel + interesting technical content disappears with ~2-3 votes, never to be seen again frequently.

Oh whale.
