So with the mass following options on here, my recommendation to new peeps is to make sure that you have a background pic, profile pic and most importantly a bio.

I typically do not follow back people without a description.

The pro-code peeps stayed throughout the day. We did low-code in the afternoon. I think it would have been different if we did it the other way round.

Good day to fly home to Cape Town after 2 events in Jozi this week, DevConf and Copilot Dev Camp.
For those that haven't looked, please go look at AI. It's a real thing.

Room makeover day. Took me pretty much all day but in the end, it worked out. Still need to do cable management though. #dies

Luckily enough, I never got a job as a COBOL programmer back in the 90's and ended up in computer wholesale. Otherwise I would be working with IBM S34's, still today.

Apparently it lacks feature parity with the original version. We are eagerly awaiting v2.

Most people only remember the 80 column ones.

No way!!! Its actually bizarre. I have TP-Link mesh. Nothing new but I can't add static routes, which every other router has. The later Deco's have them but not mine or earlier.
