@stefano Sounds like an excellent opportunity to “fire” that client.

UPDATE: One of the company owners (whom I've known for many years and is a good person) has asked to speak with me in about fifteen minutes. -
Is anyone else experience this thing where your fellow senior engineers seem to be lobotomised by AI?@danlyke @stepheneb @Purple One of the things I did when I bought my KLR650 in 2012 was to buy a set of US and Metric taps and dies, both Lowe’s house brand, and both fairly cheap. I use them for all sorts of things, including threading the tang of a knife so I can use hardware-store hardware to form the pommel [1], restoring stripped threads in all sorts of household things, and most recently, making my own damn screws.
Buy cheap, use them, upgrade if needed.

Is anyone else experience this thing where your fellow senior engineers seem to be lobotomised by AI?@Purple @danlyke One of the things I’m pondering as a user, is just not taking any more upgrades. That’s obviously not ideal from a security standpoint, but the alternative isn’t all sunshine and puppies, either.
Then again, one of the books I’m currently reading is “Threaded Interpreted Languages” and I’m pondering making a Forth OS on a laptop I’m currently building. It’s not unlike making my own damned screws because the local HW store didn’t sell what I needed, and I refuse Amazon.
