It's sort of funny how can you immediately tell it's LLM sanitized/rewritten.

It reads like any of those tech blogs, using big words where not strictly necessary but also not wrong

Don't know about your LLM feeling

This [1] is a good piece on it. Here's [2] anorher good one.

We don't just carry out a MySQL upgrade, oh no. We embark on a significant journey. We don't have reasons, but compelling factors. And then, we use compelling again soon after when describing how "MySQL v8.0 offered a compelling proposition with its promise of substantial performance enhancements", just as any human meatbag would.
