Every time someone builds one of these things and skips over "overcomplicated theory", aphyr destroys them. At this point, I wonder if we could train an AI to look over a project's documentation, and predict whether it's likely to lose commmitted writes just based on the marketing / technical claims. We probably can.
I've asked LLMs to do similar tasks and the results were very useful.
/me strokes my long grey beard and nods
People always think "theory is overrated" or "hacking is better than having a school education"
And then proceed to shoot themselves in the foot with "workarounds" that break well known, well documented, well traversed problem spaces
