Don't Be a Proxy Between Me and Your AI
Description and use
<p>I've had this conversation more times than I'd like to admit.</p> <p>I raise a technical question in a thread, a meeting, or a design review and someone responds with a long, well-structured, suspiciously balanced answer. It has headers in spirit if not in format, it covers 3 tradeoffs and ends with a neat recommendation.</p> <p>I push back on one point. Silence for a minute, the kind where you can practically hear a browser tab switching. Then another equally polished paragraph appears, answering my pushback.</p> <p>At some point it kinda gives: I'm not talking to a colleague. I'm talking
