The thing that got me was always referring to Scaleway in the third person. e.g. this read like the response I get when I ask AI to review code:

> Scaleway’s solution to that problem was ingenious: embedding a Raspberry Pi module with each Mac mini.

(I realize this may be an artifact of a corporate style guide, but I'd much prefer "Our solution to that problem was embedding . . ." Both because the "was ingenious" doesn't add a ton and reads like puffery and because this is Scaleway's own blog and referring to yourself in the third person is grating.)

To me, it just reads like their marketing person's first language is not English. Which tracks because I believe the whole company is based on France.
