I'm missing artisanal, carefully crafted software from before LLM times. Microsoft Teams, Eclipse, Elastic, Lotus Notes even, and every website, well-thought and carefully optimized, taking its 30 second to load carefully picked handcrafted ads with broken CSS and color palette causing epileptic seizures. But sure.

Software has been horrible for the last 20 years. Photoshop slop was replaced by AI slop. LLMs have replaced software bootcamps.
Here's Tom with the weather.
