I think my biggest annoyance with the way we rolled out AI is that nobody seemed to want to use it to augment already working solutions.
Just throw everything out and have an LLM do it instead.

I tend to get things like 1/3 of a terminal window missing all of the context. No commands and only half of the error.
Ever receive a photo (not a screenshot) of a spreadsheet when they expect you to do something with the content? I have.
Another personal favourite is a browser window cropped so tight I can't tell where they are. No address bar, page header removed, sidebar missing, etc.
Send text as text! One of these times I am going to print the photo, annotate it, and fax it back. Or maybe I need better coworkers.
I have a friend who has learned this through several server grade cards over the years.
Yes your Intel 10G NIC was cheap. No you cannot just stick it in your desktop. It is expecting server level airflow, probably with a cold intake side.
He printed a fan mount, slapped it on, and they’ve been happy together since.
Is a layer of LLM going to make this better or worse? Could you train a model to be very good at it?
Might not be as strong or fast as he used to be, but knows how to do it smartly.
Sometimes the problem truly requires strength and brute force, but not usually.
Even something like taking up concrete. It seems straight forward but you can waste a lot of energy hitting the wrong places.
Forehead hit hood, but I caught myself so it was a "gentle" reminder instead of a concussion. I should have splurged that time I broke a socket tightening an axle bolt. 150 ft-lbs + 180 degrees is a fair bit of torque.
It is a skill, but everybody seems to think it will just happen on its own.
Easier to just keep paying.
Wouldn’t recommend it, but I already had it.
I tend to do this naturally. Even people who sound like they might cough up blood.
I really wish this were true.
The exceptions were bad weather days. Stop, check in, fuel up, etc. Never know when the storm will get bad and you’ll be sleeping in the car.
I use a self hosted Nextcloud, but you don't have to.
KeePassXC allows you to automate opening a database from the URL column. My family and I share a second database and open it from there, but it's super kludgy on any other device.
Windows finally implemented it via PowerToys: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/grab-and...
This was even worse in an RDP session. No drop shadows. I'm not sure who thought "everything should be flat and white" was a good idea.
