Written by AI? The whole text smells like it, this sentence near the end is the most suspicious: "The 2 bytes were never the goal. The goal was to see how far in I could get."
So yea fair enough for being skeptical. That’s just how I write. I normally don’t do technical blog posts and in my free time I tend to write more in a bookish way. Especially since it’s not my first language. Thanks for checking the post out and this helps me
Write it yourself. This comment is fine, it didn't matter if your English isn't perfect. I got you. LLMisms sour the whole post with a bad tone and I and others won't stomach it. The impression of effort is more important.
I laughed at this bit, because I've also tried to debug things only to find it wasn't telling me what was wrong with my code (my own error, perhaps - a forgotten --verbose or -v):

No way to know for sure, but worth flagging.
> That’s just how I write.
You aren't answering the question.
Did you use AI to write this text?
How much of the text was generated by AI?
I see the text is edited, and I no longer can find the fragments the people above complain about. Why did you edit the text?
the first sentence is the most suspicious - too many comments accusing blogposts of being made by Ai for basically no reason
Well done.
