Although I agree with the sentiment in the article, it smells very LLM~y. Especially the sections and punchlines. Such as: `That is not a rounding error. That is a line item that needs its own budget code.`
I was working at Amazon until recently. Number of internal documents (PRFAQs, 1-pagers, etc) having these sort of proses boomed since 2024.
Punchy titles are also part of the marketing speak. Before Claude or ChatGPT, it would be a delicious read, understanding how they come up with the initial idea for an internal system. Since then, most of reads like "It's not just X, ..." every other paragraph, making it dull...
Claude produces this kind of prose SO much. It's pretty annoying. I don't notice it happening on Gemini for the same prompts.
