Hey there! This is my blog post, and I just want to chime in and say that I don't believe this proposal is feasible at all for a few reasons. My main problem with it was the Zone Server, but there are plenty more problems that had already been debated ad nauseum over the last few months.

I'm definitely familiar with the paid offerings in this space, but I will say it's cool to see an open source offering for the non-professional influencers to get started with
Been a long time fan of Ubiquiti, and I think this product will do particularly well in small-medium businesses. Think of the local marketing firm with 40 employees. They likely have an office with Unifi networking, and they LIKELY hire an MSP to do their IT work.

This isn't terribly surprising. Americans either think AI is so good that it will replace their jobs, or AI is so bad that it will cause too many mistakes. Their beliefs aren't unfounded, but it gets more accurate by the quarter.

An audit log for AI coding is clever. I think the ability to encrypt-and-ship the logs (backups) on an interval will be really useful for organizations seeking something like SOC2 or ISO27001.
