Because goals, feelings and inspiration is exactly what you need to create a reliable design / software.

According to non-programmer product managers who know shite.

No one's going to enforce it. Another dead law.

Trading is an extremely fast-paced, high-stakes job. Operators must be able to execute instructions fast and with confidence, and the current terminal is the result of decades of wisdom and experience, and it ensures instructions are processed reliably and in the right order. They've been to hell and back. They've learnt what works and what doesn't. Suggesting that a new, vibe-coded version of the software could replace it, is a true insult and a cheap attempt at making money off something that ain't broken just because someone at the C level fell victim to cunning, empty marketing.

There's also something else. The UI. Let me tell you a story.

Long time ago, in a certain European country, a government tax department decided to re-do their tax software. Nothing major. Just a revamp, a few more options here and there. A refresh with a few new features. The necessary improvements, they said. Turns out that as a part of the revamp, the developers moved the elements of the UI to a more "user-friendly" layout. Specifically, one of the buttons that the tax officers had to press repeatedly every day, moved to a different location, 100px away. As the result, the productivity across tax officers dropped by 80% because they could no longer hit the button reliably using muscle-memory.

Once again, don't fix it if it ain't broken just because someone is trying to sell you snake oil.

Total Cunt Liars

You're confused. I wasn't talking about writing documentation for your project. There's a huge difference between writing the docs for a problem you've already solved, and finding the right combination of up-to-date documentation for the problem you're yet to address.

There's just a delusion of intelligence and knowledge. Wrong most of the time.

1000000% AI shite can hardly ever be salvaged. Major structural issues, irreparable.

Boilerplate? Yes
Documentation - not so much.

You want it to use either the latest version, or a version compatible with your project. But it royally fails at it, will try to give you anything and then lie in your face, untill you call it out.

And I'll start charging premium to sort it out.

Neeeeeext!

If AI get applied to civil engineering, people will die, and the world will finally wake up to the illusion of AI.

As for software development, the quality is so low, that we've dumped AI. It felt like mentoring juniors all day long and we've had enough. Bad date. Had to go.

...why?

If AI execs think that most people would pay for AI, then they are truly delusional. We only do it because it's free and/or forced upon us.

Besides, our occasional use of your tools doesn't justify paying a subscription for it.

If you start charging, or charging more, we'll go somewhere else, even if that means reddit or StackOverflow. I'm sure they'd welcome us back with open arms.

I always assume this kind of attitude is the default among executives. The world is always about money. Don't set your hopes up and you won't be disappointed.

Because the cross examination is intended to verify the testimony of the individual who is being crossed examined, not their "taxi driver" helper.

It also leaks case information to the outside, which could further jeopardise the case or the safety of other witnesses.
