I know your answer will likely be "it depends on the judge" but in your experience, do judges tend to lean towards some degree of lee-way wrt court rules? I only have limited experience through my own involvements with the legal s

I'm astonished at how much UX seems to be universally despised among the commenters here. As a big believer in design, I think the field of UX has collectively allowed it's value to be tarnished by not guarding who is skilled at U

It seems like in your experience, either UX did it's job and came up with all the wrong solutions, or UX wasn't involved and all the gripes you listed would have been alleviated by true UX professionals.

The animated gif for the first example leaves a lot to be desired. The UX: Click a button, type in a prompt, click another button. The speed just to generate 2-3 lines of code. And AI generated code with no basic error handling.
