I don't mind interacting with LLMs myself and find they increase my productivity a decent amount. I just can't stand dealing with other people's slop.

Getting sent IM responses that are copy pasted LLM nonsense. Getting a massive PR to review that was generated overnight and the author didn't read it first.

So annoying, I'm dealing with a client that just constantly feeds my responses to their question into AI. Which of course just asks more questions and tells me how clever I am. I also know the client isn't reading because in many spots I put "[Client Name] you need to answer this directly as we need to know the actual real business detail" and its ignored or the AI provides a detail I know is made up.

Okay well how about my EVSE (EV car charger)? Much more akin to a tool. I can't configure it now because it relies on a cloud interface and the company that sold it to me changed hands several times and now doesn't operate in the US. Now it's stuck thinking I want it limited to 28 amps rather than the 50 amps my new car can use.

You should be entitled to a fix for that, yes (say, some way to connect it to Home Assistant, or just a physical switch somewhere). That or your money back so you can buy an equivalent product that isn't broken.

I've seen discussions about this exact topic in Europe, but it's a hard topic to tackle, since the relevant services will usually shut down bell beyond five years, and by that time, the statute of limitations will have run out, so even if the product could in theory have lasted for 20+ years longer if you could just have it talk to the computer in your closet, or just flipped a switch to turn it into a dumb-mode where is still does the basics you don't need a clown for, you're out of luck.

Yea, it should not be even remotely acceptable that a physical device like an EV charger, installed in the home for the purpose of doing something in the home, can suddenly be nerfed simply because the manufacturer went out of business.

If this were normal, my car would suddenly stop working if Toyota went out of business.

I don't call those tips, they are bribes or bids. I avoid all delivery services personally as much as possible and I'm fortunate to have a car.

The trick is to prep your coffee machine the night before. I've only done it a few times, but it was very nice to wake up to that surprise.

Uhh a lot of companies did and are strict on what AI tools are allowed.

The main thing I had to wait on for a long time was support for preventing 3rd party code from being plagiarized since our code base was intermingled with partnered companies.

I've used tiller for several years. Handles all the connections to pull data, but all the data is completely accessible within a spreadsheet on my own storage.
