Is the writing here intentionally bad? May be it's not my cup of tea but it's been a while since I've read something so cringey, it's difficult to finish.

I don’t know, this made me kinda laugh:

Because if that programmer—if that thing, that CREATURE—walked into your stand-up in human form, typing half-correct garbage into your codebase while ignoring your architecture and disappearing during cleanup, you’d fire them before they could say "no blockers".

The description of the greenfield project first engineer. They are gone before you know it, or at the very least at some point offer a “well I had no choice you see, they really wanted to release something”.

Message aside, I thought it was well written comedy.
I liked it. Spotted one grammar mistake though. I like even that - an ai doesn’t make that kind of mistake.
The main source of the cringe is that the writing is so in your face about how hard it’s trying while the author is clearly unaware.
Really? I enjoyed the writing style quite a bit.
