The real money is in starlink replacing terrestrial cell phone operators.
That means starship. Everything else is a time waster or competition to that goal.

I’m old as dirt, use teams everyday. Works great for me.
Only problem I have is crap handling of multi tenants.

I have three boys in uni.
Read to them from babies and they were reading by preschool.
Regular library trips.
All three are regular novel readers now.
So parenting is a big part. Diggers are good at Dig Dig Digging man I got so sick of some books haha
Dr Zeus was a fav!

Thats why we compartmentalize projects now into a specific self contained domains.
Postgres inside, C# or Python backend, React Front End, API at the edge, gitea CI/CD
For example
Asset Manager
Property Manager
HRMS
QA
Sensor Data Viewer

All self contained.
The Asset manager identifies the risk level of the asset, the HRMS has training and comptency matric for the staff.
Seems to be working well ATM

I’m an EE and have coded mostly embedded for over 40 years.
In the 2 months, using Claude code, I’ve
Created property management application, including APIs to read 12 solar accounts, AI read pdf electricity bills, tenant portal, SharePoint integration, graph and entra integration, document storage, tenant doc sharing, lease management, critical date and compliance management, task management, dashboard, key register, DB backup within and external to app, etc etc. Full CI/CD pipeline with Gita secrets injection to docker. C# backend, React front end. I wouldn’t have a clue how to do front end dev. It took under 2 weeks, where most of time was devops with IT.
I’ve also developed a complex magnetometer data processing app (sync demod, FFT, water wall)
An asset management application to keep track of hundreds of pieces of test equipment.
An app to port 100k+ test records from unstructured ATE test logs to a structured searchable database.
Ported a payroll checking app I wrote in C# to a web app.
Debugged a commercial RFID microcontroller project with an obscure bug.
Developed a software architecture plan for complex mining sensor software.

The AI is WAY smarter than me most of the time and has allowed 20x productivity and done things I’d never had the patience to learn, like front end dev.
The cost of code has gone to almost zero.

Nobody will use their new app, because the old one sucks and we all use Spotify.
Spotify works so why change.
Want to do something innovative add Bluetooth.

IKEA force you to use an AI chat bot. It was so bad for the multiple times I had to use it, I ended up asking it to patch me to a human on the it’s line.
But not quite as bad as when MS outsourced L1 support to India and instructed the support person to empathise with your plight.
I’m sorry sir you mouse disconnects 5 times a day. That must make you feel mad,

And don’t forget they still use Imperial. And tipping culture. And voting on tuesdays

It only has to hallucinate less than a human to be usefull.

Just about every engineering and non web LOB software.
Altium, any old microcontroller dev platform, most mech CAD.
Altium Designer
Keil MDK
IAR Embedded Workbench
Intel Quartus Prime
Lattice FPGA tools
Proteus (if used)
Siemens/Cadence PCB tools (PADS, Xpedition, OrCAD)
Solid works
STLink
flash magic
NI lab view.
M1 ERP
PSOC creator

You get the idea

It’s a long list.

Running a business with $15M turnover, we are not big enough to take advantage of big business shenanigans.
It peeves me off no end, that I pay 30% tax on profits while big multinationals spirit their profits off tax shelters.
I don’t mind paying the tax, as you need tax to provide for a modern society. I’m peeved multinationals are allowed to engage in tax fraud.

Tesla has already solved the

problem and now using dry process for anode and cathode at scale with their 4680 cells.

Yeah /. used to be centre right people, then it became loony left. What happened?

We have 5 Altium perpetual licences and were offered the usual maintainence renewal but have finally declined because any new stuff is in their cloud subscription layer which we refuse to use, because who wants their IP trapped in single vendor subscription hell.
The old Altium perp. Lic. Is not going away, but what they are saying, is if you don’t stay on maint. you can’t get back on maint. They made that threat 5 years ago and I called their bluff. $ are $.

To be fair, they were poison to some.
The mRNA in COVID-19 vaccines directs cells to produce the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, short live/relatively localized, but due to the systemic biodistribution of lipid nanoparticles, vaccine mRNA and resulting spike protein have been detected in distant tissues, including the heart muscle and arterial walls, in multiple studies. This wider distribution occurred even with proper intramuscular injection, though inadvertent intravenous administration may have increased systemic exposure in some cases.Notably, spike protein or its fragments have been detected in blood and tissues for months after vaccination in a subset of individuals — with reports extending up to 6 months or longer — indicating that expression can persist far beyond initial expectations for this novel mRNA platform. These findings highlight significant risks inherent to mRNA technologies: unintended organ distribution (particularly cardiovascular), prolonged antigen production, and potential immune-mediated injury such as myocarditis and vascular inflammation, especially in younger males and certain susceptible populations.
