God I hate software vendors. Does anyone else have to spend a crazy amount of time toning down emails to them from "Reasons you suck" speeches to actual productive emails? (dubvee.org)

And if you're assuming the software vendor I'm dealing with was the lowest bidder, you are correct.

I remember when I was in school, I'd sometimes write a joke paper for an assignment I really hated, before scrapping it and writing something real. It was cathartic to write a page or two on why the material was dumb as nails, and sometimes I'd even get some usable material from the process.

I feel the same way writing emails to vendors. Next time, I think I'll take my initial draft and send it through an LLM to make it more "professional".
