Everyone claims it’s a spelling and grammar check, but it’s the OP trying to spread “we tried running self-managed clusters on Hetzner and it only saved us 20% while being a chore in terms of upkeep” into a full essay that causes all that annoying filler.

You’d assume people would use tools to deliver a better and well composed message; whereas most people try to use LLMs to decompress their text into an inefficient representation. Why this is I have no idea, but I’d rather have the raw unfiltered thought from a fellow human rather than someone trying to sound fancy and important.

Not to say I still find the 20% claim a little suspect.

You do realize it wasn't "saved us 20%" but "Hetzner can sometimes be as low as 20% of an equivalent AWS bill" ie saved 80%?
Might have been easier to read if it weren't buried in AI slop.
Ah, apologies.
