Ugh, failed again. It would be so nice if someone could use AI and create a better website. It's actually very easy now.

But once again, I learnt a great deal...

I typed up a large reply but then I hit submit and it was gone. So I'll be brief.

I created 4 large projects this year. No, my skills are not...

I'm doing a lot of data modelling, and we're writing and implementing policies that will force around 100 underlying organisations to also start modelling everything they share with other organisations....

I agree with the hallucination issue. It's not great. I am not sure it's possible, but if they would actually keep track of how many times certain tokencombinations occurred during...

Cool! A debate about the dialectics of software 🙂 This is actually a throwback to a rather old philosophical question, subject of much debate between people such as Hegel and...

A very nice and well-written article. The one thing that is, to me, the difference in creating a DTQP promotion process for software and one for databases, is the fact...

The problem starts with the approach of thinking about tables, foreign keys and other technical details - it's too low level. Think about the business use case for those notes....

I think they were lucky the database got wiped out by MEOW. On the other hand, it's not clear if that was done after someone downloaded it. if UFO VPN...
