Upgrading Uber's MySQL Fleet

I can tell from a mile away that this is written by ChatGPT / Claude, at least partially.

"This distinction played a crucial role in our upgrade planning and execution strategy."

"Navigating Challenges in the MySQL Upgrade Journey"

"Finally, minimizing manual intervention during the upgrade process was crucial."

Whilst it may smell of ChatGPT/Claude, I think the answer is actually simpler.

Look at the authors of the blog, search LinkedIn. They are all based in India, mostly Bangalore.

It is therefore more likely to be Indian English.

To be absolutely clear, for absolute avoidance of doubt:

This is NOT intended a racist comment. Indians clearly speak English fluently. But the style and flow of English is different. Just like it is for US English, Australian English or any other English. I am not remotely saying one English is better than another !

If, like me, you have spent many hours on the phone to Bangalore call-centres, you will recognise many of the stylistic patterns present in the blog text.

Can you elaborate on the last part? What are some stylistic patterns that are different when something is written by a US author v/s Indian?

Not exactly a stylistic difference but there are real differences in the dialects. Here's example from many moons ago: "Even I think that's a bad idea." That was an Indian colleague. It took me weeks to figure out that he was using "even" in place of "also."

In a like vein when Australians say "goodeye" they usually aren't talking about your vision.
