I've been reviewing a few people's circuit schematics recently, so I decided to write down some of my general tips and advice for creating high quality circuit schematics based on some of the things I've seen.

some AI idiot showed up in an issue I was contributing to and posted a completely incorrect LLM-generated "answer" to the problem.
out of curiosity I looked at his profile and he's a contract webapp developer who posts all his customer projects in public repos. these are for real companies. some are live now. the code is all clearly LLM generated, and I found trivial auth bypasses in the first three I looked at. two of the three stored passwords in plaintext. the third uses plain SHA1.

and those motherfuckers were trained on how to not answer questions directly. not in some hyperbolic sense - it was a literal actual factual part of their political education and training. they ran drills, they workshopped it. years and years of practice. and they still regularly got rankled by the tactic of just stubbornly repeating the question and making them look childish until a straight answer was given.
self-aggrandising techbro dickheads wouldn't stand a chance for two minutes.

and look I'm not saying Jeremy Paxman is some sort of god of journalism but the dude stood his ground and treated the most politically powerful people in the country like children when they wouldn't answer a question, in a country with a culture that is typified by the concept that vaguely inconveniencing another person is utterly verboten, and rather than him losing all access he instead became so iconic that politicians had no choice but to be interviewed by him. that shit worked.
