Getting another decade out of working hardware by writing your own driver is exactly the kind of project LLMs are good for. Low stakes, well-scoped, and the alternative was e-waste.
That’s exactly what I figured. Even though I feel it should have been Drobo’s responsibility to at least provide a detailed doc before going under.
They must have sold quite a few of these units, and I figure I’m one of the few (saw someone on Reddit reacting to a post to this with their own vibe-coded dashboard – which of course looks eerily similar) customers that went through such lengths to give their device a few more years. Providing an « official » open-source driver might have prevented some more e-wase – and token use!

Seems pretty clear to me.
Nothing exposed beyond the expected surface.
Whining about everything being AI, is worse than the AI itself. Especially when the blog post as a whole is clearly human written. OVERWHELMINGLY so
The actual AI stuff in the article is clearly called out and delineated.
I’ll take the « OVERWHELMINGLY » as a compliment, I guess ;).
