What's with the hashtags inside a normal blog post? It's not like they're writing this on Twitter or anything, and the hashtags aren't clickable, so I wouldn't expect this to serve as SEO. I would guess one of two things: (1) they plan to post the same content to social media or (2) they've decided that people search hashtags in their search engines in general.
I'd be interested if anybody has more insights into this.

Appears the blogpost text is from a LinkedIn post (where the hashtags are clickable): https://www.linkedin.com/posts/zayarni_qdrant-summer-of-code...
Nothing more interesting than copy-paste I'm afraid
Same reason they have random emoji at the ends of each bullet point: it's an intentional forced-quirky vibe.
It has been a part of most major AI open source projects lately, for some reason: https://sigmoid.social/@minimaxir/110951886465291229
I agree that people use emojis waaaay too much for this sort of stuff (see also: certain projects' commit messages, various READMEs).
Imagine getting upset over emojis.
It’s just injecting a little bit of life and visual variance into the text.
The best way to inject a little bit of life into a text is with engaging and vibrant writing, not putting colourful stickers all over it.
I guess the sticker thing works for 6 year olds though.
Good writing is nice, but emojis can certainly make it colorful.
Personally I feel the (excessive) colors can be distracting, but that's just my view.
Sorry, my bad. Was partially copied from Linkedin, where I post most of the content. No idea behind. The emojis are from here https://qdrant.to/gsoc24
Or (3) hashtags have become some intrinsic quality of writing by people whose minds have been entirely corrupted by social media junk
