hope you enjoy this article on lock free programming in rust.
I used humor and analogies in the article not just to be entertaining, but to make difficult concepts like memory ordering and atomics more approachable and memorable.
at the very least that article was definitely edited with ChatGPT. i had someone on my team write “edgy” copy with ChatGPT last week and it sounded exactly the same. short paragraphs and overuse of bullet points are also a dead giveaway. i don’t think it’s super noticeable if you don’t use ChatGPT a lot but for the people that use these systems daily, it’s still very easy to spot.
my suggestion to OP: this was interesting material, ChatGPT made it had to read. use your own words to explain it. most people interested in this deeply technical content would rather read your prompt than the output.
As someone who overused bullet points before it was AI-cool and doesn’t write with the assistance of AI (not due to a general anti-AI belief, I just like writing by hand) I have also started getting that feedback a lot lately.
Who knows, maybe someone accidentally over-weighted my writing by a factor of a trillion in ChatGPT’s training set?
Interesting read, I enjoyed it and it answered a question that I didn't even realize I had been asking myself for years, which is how lock-free structures work.
Have you looked at CTries before? They're pretty interesting, and I think are probably the future of this space.
