Our dog has been sick these last days with some puking. 🤮
My wife has been taking care of him, hand-feeding him some nice boiled chicken and rice soaked in stock so he can recover. 😷
Today she went out with him for a walk, and the first thing he did was to eat the first poop he found on the floor. 💩

I realised that with all these AI integrations and stuff, we are finally getting proper up to date documentation in the AGENTS.md files. At least we need to be grateful for that.

TIL that the Spanish pestiños and the Korean yakgwa, which taste almost the same, were developed simultaneously across the world. It is impressive how we humans ended up reaching the same "solutions" to the same "problem".
