Are you saying this was written by an LLM? Can you give examples for your assertion?

It's so obvious mate, the Velocity is Not Progress section is the worst.

Frequent bullet lists. Bolded key phrases. Varying sentence length for emphasis. “Not X, Y” phrasing structure. Pervasive second-person perspective.

I mean it’s possible somebody just writes like that, but I wouldn’t bet money on it.

The cadence and sentence structure is very obvious; GPT-based LLMs somehow just tend to be very haughty by default. There's the very slogan-esque 'X? Verb-in-past-tense. Y? Another-verb-in-past-tense' sort of sentences that're a dead give-away that something is written by an LLM. Also weird similes and constructions that make grammatical and even contextual sense, but don't really exist in English.
