Can You Get Your Data Out of an AI Tool? The Right Exists on Paper, the Button Usually Doesn't

Sooner or later an AI tool will take something back. A feature you used gets retired on a deadline, a plan you were on gets restructured, or you simply decide to leave — and you go looking for the export button so you can carry your history, your chats, the reports and images the thing made for you, somewhere else. Often, there isn’t one. And when you reach for the law instead, you find something stranger than a flat “no”: a right that half-fits, written for a world before chatbots. Answer first

Sampling rate is a correctness property, not a performance knob

In 1997 a Pokémon episode aired in Japan with a four-second red-and-blue strobe. 685 children went to hospital that night. The regulations that followed — Ofcom Broadcasting Code 2.12, ITU-R BT.1702 — are why UK and Japanese broadcast deliveries have to clear a photosensitive-epilepsy check before transmission. I built a screening tool for that check. Live at flashframe-production.up.railway.app, code at github.com/edycutjong/flashframe. Three synthetic test clips ship with it, so you can click

Why Senior Developers Burn Out Faster Than Junior Devs

It shouldn't work this way. Seniors have more experience handling pressure. Better coping strategies. Clearer boundaries. More career capital to protect themselves with. By every reasonable measure, they should be more resilient to burnout than juniors. And yet the pattern is consistent: senior developers burn out harder, recover slower, and accumulate damage that takes longer to reverse than their junior counterparts hitting the same environmental pressure. The reason isn't psychological. It's

Why Android Apps Drain Battery in the Background

Your app isn't open. You're not using it. And somehow it's still one of the biggest battery drains on the phone. That sounds contradictory, but "not open" only means the app doesn't have a visible activity. It says very little about what the app is doing. The process might still exist. A worker could be syncing data. An alarm could wake the device. A foreground service might be tracking location. Push messages could trigger network requests. Or the app could be running a coroutine loop that chec

Asynchronous Form Schema Discovery: Idempotent Retries and Secure Temporary Files

Use a durable job record as the unit of work for form schema discovery: validate the document at admission, submit one asynchronous extraction job under a correlation ID, poll it with bounded retries, and treat the temporary files on disk as scratch space that nothing downstream is allowed to trust. In a healthtech service that watermarks discharge packets before they go to an outside clinic, the constraint that decides the design shows up before the fidelity-versus-render-cost trade ever does.
