Is my adblocker blocking them? I only saw the stack of tars in a coat. Didn't break the article's flow for me.

I also only saw that, but the text feels a bit fluffed out by AI as well, if I’m not mistaken.

It’s not. It’s been through several editing rounds. (I was one of the editors.) In theory, we don’t have a problem with AI generated content if it meets our high editorial requirements, but all Tweag technical blogs go through a rigorous, manual review and editing process to keep standards high.

As I've read through the post, seeing phrases like "Why this matters for performance", usage of em-dashes and lists/bullet points, screams AI written to me. I appreciate you saying it wasn't, but such is the fate of who wrote this to write like LLMs do nowadays. I also liked to use em-dashes and bullet lists but am consciously avoiding them now.

I interviewed a guy from Microsoft who was working on AI, and he literally speaks like this.

Like, using the words "leverage", "matters for...", "as for", and so on. And you could almost hear him doing the bullet points.

When you work with AI a lot, it changes your vocabulary.

That's absurd emdash I work with AI constantly and have noticed no such durable lexical shift.
