I'm not looking forward to the near future where it will become harder and harder to distinguish little projects like this from AI generated tools.

The README already has a rather repugnant LLM-ish feel to it; lots of lists and verboseness, while saying very little.

Also, this is a perplexing choice (which also serves to illustrate the above point regarding verboseness):

    White background with red center: 1-9 processes (some development servers) 
    White background with orange center: 10+ processes (many development servers)

A lot of ReadMe's are generated with AI. Doesn't really mean anything.

Whenever I see a README or worse, PR description that was obviously generated by an LLM, my immediate response is "if you couldn't be bothered to write this, why should I bother reading this?"

Because it provides useful information, and is easier to read compared to reading the code directly.
