Should I let AI like Claude design my software architecture?

No. It over-engineers CRUD into nightmares. Lead yourself, use AI as tool.

What's better: Umami, Plausible, or Fathom for privacy analytics?

Umami for self-host control. Plausible for light scripts. Fathom for no-ops ease.

Human-led. Lean, readable, contextual. AI bloats without business sense.
