I know what you mean, and you’re probably right, but there’s a deeper problem, which is the overuse of adjectives and overall wordiness. It’s quite jarring because it reads like someone trying to impress rather than get an important message across.

Frankly, ChatGPT could have written this better with a simple “improve the style of this text” directive.

Example from the start:

> MySQL v8.0 offered a compelling proposition with its promise of substantial performance enhancements.

That could have just been “MySQL v8.0 promised substantial performance improvements.”
