He has continvoucly morged his rel, branch back to add a new featue over Timn.

No, I'm not having a stroke. That's just the best that their best AI can do, and nobody gave a shit to even check that the giant diagram that explained everything in a simple graphical form... you know... didn't look like an AI image generator tried to generate text.

Unless something is very, very wrong, your cable is not a filter, so it's not going to have any impract on sound. The same can be said for guitarists. They go on and on about shit that makes absolutely no difference to the tone of an electric guitar.

There have also been more than one guitarist with their own legendary distinct sound preferring to play the cheaper version of their signature guitars versus the higher end versions, typically because the cheaper ones are lighter and sound the same.

Most of the "because AI" headcount reductions were complete bullshit, or a "realignment" of the companies towards the AI future. Assuming it ever actually happens. I mean, they spent billions and promised hundreds of billions more.

Now, I certainly wouldn't want to work at a company that's making a shitty SaaS replacement for a dBase III application or excel spreadsheets or something. That sort of thing is doomed no matter how you look at it. If AI does even 5% of what they're replacing, you just ask Claude to do the thing you need, even though what you need is actually already 100% implemented in software you already own but were just too lazy to see what that button was for. If AI goes tits up, then it's going to take one of the major cloud players along with it, probably Microsoft with the way they're run these days.

Better option is to just have an AI strategy of "No". Best option is to just don't computer.
