I disagree, taking my eyes off the road to change climate controls is bad UI/UX

Can the plugin do non objectstore backups? E.g. If I don't want to use S3 / minio / whatever blobstore for my homelab

But those already exist! There are a lot of Salesforce competitors that have much better execution. Yet salespeople absolutely demand Salesforce, and unless that changes I can say with absolute certainty no vibe coded clone from ex-Salesforce engineers is going to dent CRM

It would have been great if the author could have provided a complete example of the constraints in action, I'm kinda lost on how the third one would look in practice

Well Microsoft actually did attach metadata to word files, and it led to the arrest of a serial killer. Not saying they should do it, just found it funny that you picked the one example that did actually happen.

Are you comparing H1bs to slavery? That's a ridiculous take

But companies don't have to bear the cost of raising a human from birth, or training them. They only pay the cost of hiring them, and that includes cost of maintenence.

Add to that the fact that we can't blindly trust LLM output just yet, so we need a mearbag to review it.

LLM will always be more expensive than human +LLM, until we're at a stage where we can remove the human from the loop

I wish all model providers would converge on a standard set of files, so I could switch easily from Claude to Codex to Cursor to Opencode depending on the situation

Is this an outdated requirement? What's the attack surface of an email vs fax? Unless they ban phones at the office, someone could just take a photo of the documents the patient faxed or mailed them

Input: I just took a big shit

Output: I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve just successfully completed a major internal release. This process required significant focus, a commitment to letting go of what no longer serves me, and a streamlined approach to output. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the most impactful growth comes from a high-volume delivery. Feeling lighter and ready to tackle the next challenge! #GrowthMindset #Efficiency #OutputMatters #Relief

I assume that if you take a break you'll have missed a lot when you come back, at the pace things are evolving. Which is OK for some people like OP but maybe not for simonw
