It truly is unfortunate. Thankfully most people seem to have an innate immune response to this kind of RLHF slop.

There are typos in it, too. I don't think this kind of style critique is really on topic for HN.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting.

#6I'm always amazed at claude codes ability to build context by just putting grep in a for loop.
It's pretty much the same process I would use in an unfamiliar code base. Just ctrl+f the file system till I find the right starting point.

Those guidelines that you reference talk almost exclusively about annoyances on the webpage itself, not the content of the article.
I think it's fair to point out that many articles today are essentially a little bit of a human wrapper around a core of ChatGPT content.
Whether or not this was AI-generated, the tells of AI-written text are all throughout it. There are some people who have learned to write like the AI talks to them, which is really not much of an improvement over just using the AI as your word processor.

#9Has it not dawned on the author how ironic calling embeddings and retrieval pipelines "a nightmare of edge cases" when talking about LLM
