Why does a LLM-generated article even need two human bylines?
Hard to imagine a human in 2026 accidentally writing something like this:
The most significant takeaway from the audit was the exceptional stability of the HAProxy core. The auditors didn't just review code; they hammered it.
The team performed extensive "fuzzing" by feeding the system massive amounts of malformed, garbage, and malicious data. They primarily targeted the HAProxy network request handling and internal sockets. This testing went on for days, and in the case of internal sockets, up to 25 days.
The result? Zero bugs. Zero crashes.But, that does raise an interesting point.
Content produced by pure LLMs are actually a statistical aggregation of lots of human authors (initially, anyway). So, the non-deterministic "average" takes a specific tone (regression to the mean).
Perhaps you can get similar patterns when combining work across multiple authors, especially when there are different goals, styles, and expressions that are being combined.
You can blame me for the more marketing focused phrases - its an attempt to appeal to both engineering readers and business leaders. I try to find a balance being interesting (so people actually read it) and informative (so it is actually useful), but it can be a fine line.
The technical insights can be attributed to Willy, much of which came directly from his notes. Honestly, we could write a whole other blog post with the stuff we couldn't fit from him.
Thanks for reading.
