I bet this guy used AI to help put his defense together.

How Generative and Agentic AI Shift Concern from Technical Debt to Cognitive Debt This piece by Margaret-Anne Storey is the best explanation of the term cognitive debt I've seen so far. Cognitive debt, a term gaining traction recently, instead communicates the notion that …

That functionality will come in new versions. You gotta go one step at a time with such a well used, robust framework.

It is a source of pride me that once in 2010 my (no longer living) blog got Slashdotted.

Slashdot linked to an image in a post. 10k hits a min for a blog running on a Apache server that was used to 100 hits a day.

The peak lasted several hours but the increase in traffic continued for months.

Word: how about the whole document?

Me: no!

Word: WHOLE DOCUMENT DONE πŸ™‚

Me: Arghhh.

Word: yaaaaay indent!

Me: UNDO, UNDO

Word: *indents everything you've ever written in both the past and future*

Word: I'm a word processor!

The trick with #networking events is to rock up and have the aim of organising 2 X coffee catch ups after. More is better but that is the aim

We've had hundreds of thousands of years of evolution running through forests and it's only in the last century have we had to give a fuck about a TPS report.
