A few weeks ago I wanted to understand how the storage engine inside RocksDB actually works. Not read about it. Build it.

Immediate tell that this was written by AI. Another thing I've noticed lately - AI's overuse of "every":

Every batch of writes called `file.Write` on the write-ahead log.

Every read was scanning entire SSTable files.

Every bit is set.

Every value matches.

If you want to read more about how unsavory aspects of AI-training are off-loaded onto poor workers in third-world countries, would recommend Karen Hao's "Empire of AI". These workers are paid pennies an hour for unstable jobs that expose them to some horrific material.
