Having played with AI to generate scaffolding code for UPU S42 e.g. DAO/DTO/ORM - I find it simply not ready yet for realtime - however there are no reason it won't be fairly soon and it could potentially take away 80-90% of coding effort ❤️

It's not being about being a scumbag, yet he is, not about evil, yet it is - but anybody writing this never aced a cognitive test - and seriously needs metal help - This is not just Trump - this is dementia grandpa in full speed with damage to any centre that controls emotional outbursts

And he happens to say the quiet part out loud - it is so sad to observe from the outside - but boy I am grateful - for not being governed by that psychopath. Would he ever have been elected if candidates had been selected using proportional representation- had to imagine ❤️

Forgot to say when I posted the link - there is naturally way more to say about how Denmarks democracy and how and why it developed as it did - that the article overlooks not least the agreement between employers and unions that they wanted to settle conflicts between themselves e.g. 1899 agreement
