A nuance that non-programmers won't get about LLM/AI
adoption.

Specifically Anthropic is tailored to "not good" programmers
and project managers who think they "are good".

The agent/LLM makes it easy for these types to
pretend to do stuff.

This works because

1. Corporate software is filled
with these types.

2. Corporate software rarely finishes projects, so
no one notices how crap it is.

I just need to vent how bad # is. It chews up to s of CPU and memory and crashes. And no backward compatibility so one is stuck with it. New designs will stay on KiCAD 9 going forward.

It's like the Chrome browser 40GB mandatory download (that I refuse to use bc surveillance).

One of the truly funny moments in my tech writing: I forget what the project was, but during final edits of an actually not very large manual, Microsoft Word bleated this https://nxdomain.no/~peter/dokumentet_er_for_stort.jpg at me.

This translates to "The document is too large to save. Delete some of the text before saving."

Somebody needs to be killed for the Google Maps API.

Not sacked, killed.

I'm sorry, I don't make the rules.

Me in 2000: I hate Microsoft's business practices but I'm conflicted because some of their products are really good.

Me now: ... Why do I have to use this trash?

Digital photo frames: seemingly simple, yet so many are utterly terrible. This piece dives into the murky world of subpar screens, atrocious software, and sneaky subscriptions.

Turns out, finding a truly good one is a quest. What's one piece of tech that *should* be simple but rarely is?
