NOTE: I sourced and edited this piece. If you're going to knock it for "AI" then you need to knock 90% of all journalism right now.
I am at least open and honest about how much AI I use, unlike other publications.

I did not flag the original HN submission, but yes, this post reads very weirdly at best to the point that it's hard to take it seriously. Not every paragraph needs to be 2 sentences that are snippy.

That's how I write, Max. I'm sure you've read my blog, that's just my style.

I have never read your blog before this submission.
Technical blog posts don't need to follow AP Style but this post reads like LinkedIn broetry.
you seem to jump in my posts alot and criticize me...
edit, it is NOT weird to quote an article you JUST posted. Not sure why I can't reply to you. But you need to stop stalking me. It's weird.
The original point was that I write like that everywhere, including my blog. That's what we're talking about, Max.
Either show examples or please, stop critisizing people actually building shit.

...that links to a Medium blog post, this submission is not a Medium blog post.
I can confidently say I do not have an encyclopedic knowledge of blog posts and who wrote them I may or may not have read over a year ago. I made that comment on that post because it's weird to quote yourself, I don't think I actually read the post.
I have no grudges against any particular Hacker News user and I typically don't pay attention to who writes a given post/comment unless it's out-of-pocket.
