Tangential, but the Claude-isms make it a less rewarding read
rvz•31m ago
It is getting quite nauseating to see Claude's fingerprints all over the page and at this point I just expect the slop to continue.

But the payoff here is that you get a sneak peak into PG19

It's off-putting to me too. I wonder if the AI enthusiasts that stopped manually writing also find it off-putting

No you see when I generate a blog post it’s not slop. You see I reviewed the output and declared everything is fine. So it’s not slop.

It’s only when you generate a blog post that I get the ick from slop.

Because I clearly put effort into my blog post and you did not.

The features look exciting, but the article is exceptionally unclear to me. I am not sure whether that is my fault, the author's, or the LLM's who wrote it.

The headline feature (property graphs) has a better example here in the official docs: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/19/ddl-property-graphs.html

Gotta say this site is killing it in the LLM-written technical blog SEO game the last couple years, they're consistently able to dominate (and actual deliver in spite of the LLM-isms) SERP for a set of technologies that very closely align with the ones that a typical backend/infrastructure engineer would work on.

I checked their list of blog articles from the last year and they haven't even written that many, which makes it quite impressive because they really model the set that I've been working with (Go, Postgres, grpc, otel) well by I guess defining some kind of customer archetype and writing really detailed guides about what they'd be interested in learning more about. At this point I've encountered their site "organically" like 5x in the last year and recognize the name/style of content so they're doing something right in the marketing department for sure.

On one hand you could just dismiss it as spam but articles like this actually represent a pretty significant LLM spend/human review element that delivers real value to me as a technical end user looking for info on google or in technical blogs on HN (ie it would take me a long time to generate something like this myself and I wouldn't do it proactively, only when-needed). So it actually does help me quite a bit that they do so before I think to ask about it.
