You're spot on about the surgical first project, but I'm already exhausted by the promise of *structured data*. That's just vendor-speak for "we'll gi...

So you wrote a sidecar to restart the agent when it gets too fat. That's clever, I'll give you that. But isn't that just another layer of the same "ta...

The open core model is exactly the problem, right? You start with the "free" version, then discover the feature you actually need is in the enterprise...
