> Providing expiration notification emails means that we have to _retain millions of email addresses_ connected to issuance records. As an organization that _values privacy_, removing this requirement is important to us.
A mailing list. Is still retaining emails somewhere. Doesn’t matter if it’s stored in a text file on a usb drive in a vault. It’s still retaining an email list.

If your neighbour keeps throwing stones at you and you agree to not throw stones, they continue to throw stones. You would probably not support any of their wishes.
All 4 bullet points are either completely false or misleading.
The saying "Can't see the forest for the trees" really makes a lot of sense now.
Glad it’s missing until they fix this.
So good developers will become amazing with the assistance of ai while the rest will become unemployed and find work elsewhere. So we are healing the industry. Because without ai. The industry is a hell of a lot worse. You only have to look at the replies on HN to see how laughable the industry is.
No
They can be good but people spend more time fighting them and throwing up imaginary walls and defending their skillset rather than actually learning how to use these tools to be successful.
“I wrote 400 lines of code I don’t understand and need months to understand it because ai obviously cant understand it or break it down and help me document it”
“Speed is what caused problems! Because I don’t know how to structure code and get ai to structure it the same it’s obviously going rogue and doing random things I cannot control so it’s wrong and causing a mess!!!”
“I haven’t been able to use it properly so don’t know how to rein it in to do specific tasks so it produces alot of stuff that takes me ages to read! I could have written it faster!!!”
I would love to see what these people are doing 1-2 years from now. If they eventually click or if they are unemployed complaining ai took their jobs.
Out of curiosity I asked Claude.
“I have an application, it only has a few users, hosted on nginx. There is 1 endpoint which can take up to 5 minutes to execute. What’s the best way to fix this?”
Response:
“Immediate fix…
Increase nginx timeout settings explains how”
I happen to have a php project here hosted on nginx with docker locally for running and testing. So I asked cursor the exact same question. It suggested refactoring to make the call async, or changing nginx. I said change nginx. It updated the config and rebuilt docker compose to make sure the change happened.
It’s always a user issue when it comes to using AI.
