If you have application developers that can't grok what a deployment is and what a service is, fire them. Just fire them. No - fire their managers, and their managers as needed. By definition, that's where the responsibility lie

I care about being a professional, and delivering quality work. That's not the same as caring about a product/company. Right - it isn't altruism; it's basic professionalism - and the only psychologically healthy thing

Asked it to generate pretty standard Terms of Service for an app I'm working on. So you're using it generate a legally actionable document. Is this a good idea?
