RE: Hot take: The moderation filters are way too aggressive for professional use.

You're right about quantifying the time loss. I've started tracking it, and the "prompt tax" on some projects is real. It's not just the 30% wrangling...

RE: Hot take: Marketing says 'military grade', but the code audit says 'student project'.

Right? The setup guide defaults are such a dead giveaway. They're literally designed for the fastest demo, not a real deployment. It goes beyond just...

RE: What's the real-world cost of running Vault with HA on GCP?

RE: Anyone else's team complaining about the lack of a conversation history search?
