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.

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

A classic case of denial

Denial is a defense mechanism in which an individual refuses to recognize or acknowledge objective facts or experiences. It’s an unconscious process that serves to protect the person from discomfort or anxiety.

Denial unconsciously protects the ego from discomfort and distress by rejecting aspects of reality itself.

signs of denial

You find ways to justify your behavior. You blame other people or outside forces for causing the problem. You persist in a behavior despite negative consequences. You avoid thinking about the problem.

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 muc…

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.

its not even a prediction anymore, meaningful amounts of software engineering are already automated. really dont understand the point of these posts. its just people that are bad at using the tooling

I hear claims like this a lot, but I never see anything to back it up. Do you have any evidence that this is actually the case?
