> The CTOs I talked to aren't making a dumb choice. They're solving real problems.

Unrelated to the content of the article, this sentence structure is a dead giveaway of LLM writing.

This blurb gave me the idea to try and quantize this. Scrape the top HN blogs over the last few years and see how occurences of common phrases change.

I'd expect to see a huge increase in "solving real problems" over the last months.

I would love to see the results of this if you actually do it!

A coding agent should make short work of that. However I'm a bit doubtful if the results would actually be meaningful.

I'm thinking that some of the LLM-isms are a bit more complex than just repeated phrases. It's often more that short, punchy writing style with quick setups and punchlines. But would be interesting nonetheless. I really think that some things (like "solving real problems" or "it's not"/"this isn't") would show up.
