This is such a Claude written post. Obvious tells everywhere, but the most annoying is how it uses private terms without defining them. What the fuck is "Spanner"? It refers to it multiple times. Of course we know the reason is that some dickhead at Ant told their Claude to write a blog post, and Claude being Claude has very poor/non-existent theory-of-mind for people and generates this trash.

https://cloud.google.com/spanner, though technically any database would work if you know how to scale them. Spanner just has a few nice properties for our scale.

Good call about us not defining it, I can fix that! And this blog post was 100% human-written.

1. I've seen ai-written code. Ugh...

2. So they're trying to make code so complex that humans can't read it anymore?!

3. What's the point of changing code? Are the changes - how do you say - useful?

4. Thank God for Git, the amazing piece of software by the venerable Linus Towalds, that just keeps on giving! It's free, open, and excellent quality source-control software, and you can even keep binary files there. Excellent stuff. I can't imagine ever not using it.

Is it normal that peoples' last names are abbreviated in the Acknowledgments?!?

Are Anthropic engineers now anonymous? Seems like a strange choice

Yeah this is my biggest question. Like are they CIA agents or what that needs their name hidden.

Some of them are for sure. Someone has to do the backup of transcripts and metadata
