This useful but has a big "written by claude" feel to it.

Yup. Phrases like "The Trap", "The Reality", "The Token Counter", "Batch Billing Lag", "The Loophole" all indicate markdown style thought processes that divide up the meat and potatoes of the idea into H1/H2 sections; also quoting words that people wouldn't normally quote ("stitching" together a codebase) is another telltale.

what exactly does this mean? claude was sitting next to them watching them then wrote up the report? they put in lots of personal details and experience in the story, it's obviously not written by claude and it's very rude to accuse someone without evidence.

If you can't see that this post was obviously "enhanced" with AI then I don't know what to tell you. They had a small anecdote about their experience and then asked AI to flesh it out into a multi paragraph post.

I mean, the cute section titles are a dead giveaway.
