I'm partially sighted. I've yet to see an AVP demo that made me want to try one out as an access tool. In fact, everything I've seen so far suggested it would be a hinderance. Can you suggest how it could help? What am I miss

Quite the opposite. It looks like a well crafted UI, with care and attention to detail. The kind of thing that takes coordination. Scrum can help with that. The grandparent poster seemed to be claiming the opposite: that scrum makes such th

One advantage to leaving the configs around is that the next time you install the app, yiu get it set up just the way you had it before. Also, AFAIK, this mirrors how command line utils would work.

AI probably should be. The bulk of its efficacy comes from the work of “everyone else” (in loose terms). AI also aims/hope/threatens to replace such a large number and range of jobs that it probabky should be a commons.

Thanks for replying. I think I missed the significance of your narrowed definition of recursion, and didn't apply it the way you intended when I read the article. I admit to my bad reading. I went on to discuss your article with an LLM

I’ll re-read it, because clearly I don’t get it. And I’d like to. My first two attempts made it seem like it was building on a function calling itself, with itself as an argument (so that it can call itself). I’m not sure how that isn’t rec

I found it extremely confusing. It sets a challenge as a rhetorical tool, but then completely fails to honour the challenge through the bulk of the explanation. - don’t use recursion: spends multiple paragraphs implying that a function call
