With the base looking at 5K, it's unlikley to oscillate. It would be a

noise, or tempcos, or anything else.

Along with a colleague, I interviewed someone for a repair technician's
job a few years back. Among the questions was a simple common emitter
single transistor stage which we asked him to explain.

He blew us away. He knew *far* more detail than either of us. Turned
out he was a shit-hot analog designer looking for a less stressful job
as he wound down to retirement. He turned out to be brilliant at his
new job, and mentored a lot of younger people. He left when the company
was bought by a large US corporation with the concomitant mind-numbing
treacle-wading bullshit. [Me too!]

Maybe not yet, but pretty soon AI will do it better than humans.

Don't see how a simple quesion has enough information to generate a
complex design.
Take a modular approach until such time as the algos improve.

Why do we have garbage like Windows and Outlook if AI is available?
I haven't used either for very many years. Linux is *way* better in so
many ways.
Because garbage made money and closed source meant no-one else could laugh at the code.
Ha! ha! Well said, Edward; spot on!
If Windows is ever rewritten by AI then it's likely to be in a way which does whatever is necessary to make more money.
We could get AI to come up with something a little better than just
another version of Windows, I'd imagine. ;-)
