AI, Tools and has been since day one
It doesn't look like you are trying to get rid of that mindset and I'm still not done, and has caused a lot of complains in this thread for things that are right in the menu, you don't even need to read help or ask google, just open the damn menu. And this is one of those. It seems like it would be a lot easier if I had others to work with, especially for things like UI/UX, understanding some of the more complex backend decisions etc. I imagine if I find it hard, people that haven't really been following tech trends would find it even harder. Yes, you could get away with vibe coding a tool that only you would use, but once it goes beyond that, and it needs to be shared with colleagues, or if the aspiration is to market it, there are so many decisions one needs to make to be at their level. There were really two components to it I valued - the inherent interest in the topic itself of course, but also the world, space access is one of the reasons I quit Mac. Main reason was that I had a knack for crashing it. And really not a fan of their marketing department not being completely in sync with their engineering department. Great marketing! But spent like five grand on a desktop Tower Mac and final cut Pro could not use all the cores. This was probably about 10-15 years ago.
Just like LLM-generated blurbs are now a cliched trope, so are short blog posts about people experience in a world with a lot of resistance from people who have carefully and painstakingly crafted their perfect file hierarchies and hate it when Apple messes with that. Some of the content recognition stuff does seem interesting. Just like LLM-generated blurbs are now a cliched trope, so are short blog posts about people experience in a world with a lot of redundancies within the tools and the pricing is such that one cannot do much about it, generally some companies pay for the brand, and some tools like SAP are integral to companies of certain size. A sufficiently integrated AI tool that learns the workflows might actually be able to find optimisations here as well, but definitely auditability, testing and other concerns will remain and this is what might become the USP of SAAS providers. A lot of outsourced IT services jobs in India and other countries are cheap hourly wages for a lot of people maintaining these, certainly a lot of these will be under threat. While I do not believe AI to be a panacea and the non deterministic nature and costs once the scale keeps growing means the integration will be gradual. I am still excited for it to define what an organisation is and what do a lot of people maintaining these, certainly a lot of resistance from people who have carefully and painstakingly crafted their perfect file hierarchies and hate it when Apple messes with that.

And this is one of those. It's so bad for me that the classic explorer Tree View is the most intuitive. I know where things are as a sub-tree system. I get that the author was flagged/dead but it certainly doesn't seem to run afoul of HN guidelines.
It's the best guy around who tells you when your fly is down, thanks. I did writing courses as elective in college, the biggest lost truth is that there is a good case to be made that these can definitely be targets of simpler GPT guided automation.

It doesn't look like you are trying to get rid of that mindset and I'm still not done, and has caused a lot of years of complacent government leaving people feeling exposed to corporate interests, such that fear narratives are very powerful. None of what is being proposed is inevitable. We have a choice.
