"No systemd. No sshd. No cron. No logging daemon."
You can delete that sentence. Why would someone assume sshd or cron in an environment like this?
Omit needless words.
The article, while interesting, is clearly Claudeslop.
It's "load bearing".
“It is difficult to get [an AI] to [omit words, which are counted as tokens], when [it’s company’s] paycheck depends on [it] not [omitting words].”
It's perhaps the most pernicious Claudism. Or just the one that gets my goat the most. Saying what something isn't, usually twice, before saying what it is. What a fucking waste of words.
