Totally reads as a reply generated by chatGPT or something similar. If this was written manually, congrats for mastering the style.

I consider HN a more serious and knowledgeable crowd, so I try to keep my replies professional and well-reasoned to reflect that. That said, I do like to use AI tools to clean up grammar and phrasing. I also write a lot of whitepapers and technical documentation at work, maybe some of that “leaked” into my response.

To be honest I found it hard to read, it seemed to be more focused on using big words and formal language than explaining the point. Not trying to roast you, just honest criticism. I think that's what gives the "ChatGPT" feeling.

I know someone else that writes like that, he is deeply involved in government bureaucracy and they have this complex jargon that I don't know.

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback, really. When I type from a computer, during working hours, that happens.

I don't know if that's something you should be congratulated for though

For using ChatGPT, or for still being capable of manual writing in the age of AI?

It would make them more anonymous / harder to link to other IDs if that's what they were after.
