RE: Hot take: Their marketing screams 'no-code', but you still need a developer.

RE: Help: Q's explanations for security vulnerabilities are too vague.

Yeah, you're right about the process tax. That extra prompting step feels like a workaround for a broken feature. But calling it a line scanner might...
