People must realize that it's people who book meetings, not processes. And some of them book meetings to try to justify their presence. Blaming scrum for having meetings on the calendar is a scap…

> Aren't they all billing at discount? Microsoft just announced the availability of OpenAI GPT-5.5, which they are charging 30x for it. In contrast, they charge 7.5x for Claude Opus 4.6 and 1x…

A discussion on how to avoid paying the price of running an expensive model is not about the expensive model. You can triage things running a cheap model with Ollama. Heck, throw in gpt4.1 which is fr…
