The post is quite strange, though. It exaggerates the deal in a very artificial way. For example, "My wife asked me how to think about this — is it a beginning, an end, something in between? I told her that it felt like a clear chapter mark: the end of chapter one. A fantastic opening act behind us, but with many chapters to be written in front of us.".

not that strange, it's just corporate-speak. that's what all the people writing blog posts on linkedin glorifying their 80-hour weeks sound like.

I have some experience in writing, reading, and editing. While there isn't a single, definitive writing style, it's common to use positive, concise corporate-speak in specific places. However, this piece employs it repeatedly, as seen in phrases like:

- "Together, we will build the AI-native suite of the future"

- "This represents an opportunity for dramatic acceleration of the Coda product and our mission"

- "We plan to weave the best of Coda and Grammarly together. It will combine your company knowledge, generative AI chat features, a full productivity suite, and hundreds of agents to help you work smarter"

- "We aim to redefine productivity for the AI era"

In my observation, this is much more common in the USA. In other countries, when using English, this is already less emphasized, and when some other language is used, the writing style becomes even less "exalted".

Maybe that passage itself was rewritten by an AI :)
