👏 Well done UK, what a milestone achievement.
What’s next? Make it mandatory for all door locks to have a master key and UK government to have a copy of this master key? Pinky promise this master key will not fall into wrong hands or misused?

🤖 I’ve seen a quite a few AI startups betting on replacing humans with AI for sales.
Here’s a thought, I don’t want to waste my limited human time dealing with AI sales reps. I want an AI to deal with AI sales so I don’t have to.

Typescript is *not* type-safe.
If you like typescript, that’s fine but stop trying to convince yourself (and others) it’s a type-safe language. At best it’s a static type check tool.
And JavaScript is fine too, you don’t need types to be a hard-core programmer.

What on earth is going on with ghcr.io !!? None of the containers published through GitHub Workflows can't be pulled and gives "manifest unknown" errors, but the same image pushed to other container registries work fine 🤦♂️
