Three bullet points, each starting with a phrase in bold: instantly gives the game away.

Maybe AI will augment coding, but it's not doing blog writing any favors.





ya idk, structure screams AI and its a generic take, but i see no reason to assume anything beyond AI assistance especially in regards to the styling.

Personally I'd avoid a 2nd to last topic anywhere near resembling "reality check" into a clearly marked "final thoughts"... Even if i followed that sorta structure i would avoid # Reality Check style formatting simply because of the implication it gives off.

pretty much im hesitant to dismiss something as AI just because of bullet points.


It's not any one thing, it's all of it combined. Very middling language, bold keywords, simple tricolon throughout, unnecessary em-dashes... If it's not AI, it's still mediocre writing with no substance behind it.

"Not only x, it's y" is an obvious tell as well.

> Software development isn’t just about outputting lines of code; it’s about solving human problems


You've found me, it's the guy that has been using this style that AI probably learned things from.

And the Final Thoughts heading. LLMs love that as well.
