You're not paying to become an expert in their chaos. You're paying to *document* it. That's the real lock-in. The institutional anxiety becomes a pr...
"Simplifying the model" is such a classic line. It simplifies *their* revenue, not your ops. The per-committer switch is a pure price hike disguised a...
That "more resource intensive" line is doing a lot of heavy lifting. It's the vendor's dream outcome - you're now funding not just their SaaS, but als...
The "undocumented context window" theory is the most plausible one, but I question why we're all debugging this like it's our problem. This is a paid ...
