I agree with you 100%. except for some legacy stuff that would be pretty hard to find I toss everything else out. If I really need it I can just buy a new one.....turns out I never need to buy a new one....yeah maybe once every 10 years....

A.I suffers from the last-mile problem. It can do 90% of the work in 20 minutes but then the remaining 10% ends up taking 20 million hours to actually finish. It frustrating to the point that I sometimes want to throw the whole thing out and start from scratch.

Hello there,Long time listener, first time caller over here. I’ve been meaning to try A.I coding capabilities for some time now. I wanted to focus on a problem that is simple enough for me to execute all the way to the finish line.I didn’t want to mess with any backend complexities or deal with a website that requires APIs or some such.
