By 2028, they'll flip a switch on a plant that generates enough power to fuel over half a million Texas homes. Guess who wants all of it? Microsoft, obviously—because its AI data centers are basically power-eating monsters.

While everyone's rushing to cram AI into every corner of their codebase, someone decided to go the opposite way: use AI as little as possible. It's not a provocation—it's a lesson in pragmatism more people should hear.
