>the rate of publishing (according to the linked Twitter account) is very rapid.

I've written almost 50 blog posts in the last 3 years. All in draft, never published mostly because a crippling imposter syndrome and fear of criticism. But every now and then I wake up full of confidence and think "this is it. today I'll click publish I don't give a fuck. All in". Never happens. Maybe this author was in the same boat until a month ago. I know there's a high chance that's just a bot but I can understand if it's not and how devastating has to be to overcome the fear of showing your thoughts to the world and being labeled a bot. If it's not already obvious English is not my first language and I've used LLMs to check my grammar and improve the style. Maybe all my posts smell like chatpgt now and this just adds to the fear of being dismissed as slop.

Hey, let me encourage you: do it. You might be surprised at the agreement you get, or at discussions.

LLMs do not currently improve the style of typical HN writing. Maybe someday they will; this article is less painfully bad than those of a few months ago.

The main problem with this article is that it appears to have been basically written out of whole cloth by the LLM, there’s no novel insight here about Ada beyond what you could fit in a short prompt + the Wikipedia article.
