Latis-Ren ref sheet sketch done!

Don't know when I'll get to it, but I plan on finishing this one up to a similar level as my selkra-form ref sheet. Which is going to be a lot of effort and time. But I have quite a few other projects to take on very soon, so it may be a while before it's finished.

#WIP

A reference sheet for the Pokemon Latias, as I depict myself as one. She's somewhere between a dragon, a bird, and a jet. At the top are her, from the neck up, looking left, looking forward, and a detail of her eye. Below that is a full body pic of her flying, and a full body pic from above (cut off on the right side). Bottom right is her with wings folded. Bottom left are details of her arms, which have a tuft of feathers on the back and scales on the underside. She has reptilian claws.

Yesterday, one of the younger electricians was telling me about the beauty of the new alarm systems he installs. While acknowledging the quality of my current one, he said, "It uses a SIM card and calls you. The new ones are 4G or Wi-Fi and use the cloud, so notifications go straight to your smartphone, it's not calling anymore."

I asked him, "And what if the cloud stops working? Why should I have to depend on the company’s cloud to receive alerts from my alarm? My alarm is 10 years old and works perfectly. Can you say with certainty that the company’s cloud will still be effective 10 years from now?"

He looked puzzled for a moment, then admitted he had never thought about it.

The real problem is that people do not realize what this means until things actually happen.

Looks like I'll get first-hand experience with Claude at work. I can't deny I'm curious what the fuss is about, but also, my boss inadvertently gave me a good demonstration why you need to be even more careful even if you think you are. ​:neofox_googly_woozy:​ He implemented a feature with Claude and had it write a documentation for it. I wrote (by hand) code based on this documentation, and he was confused about some of the things I had done. Turns out he let some inconsistencies slip through. Also, while it was technically correct, it presented the information not how I would've needed it and that made it harder for me to tell what I needed to do.
