πŸš€πŸ€― BookStack's brave #escape from the clutches of #GitHub, as they valiantly migrate to the hipster haven of #Codeberg. Because, obviously, GitHub's AI magic and seamless workflow tools were just too mainstream for their artisanal codebase. πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’»πŸ“š

Just wrote a python file that grabs data from an sqlite database and produces a .dot file that I can input to graphviz to visualize my taxonomy.

No AI was involved in the process even though
- I've never written anything beyond "Hello world" in python or used sqlite or graphviz before,
- I am disabled by long covid and struggle with languages, and
- the documentation triggered several moments when I was on the edge of just giving up on my project and acting on my frustration by volunteering to write non-spoon-sucking documentation instead.

It does almost precisely what I want (it is definitely good enough), I will be able to add everything I need to it without much additional stress, and it does the exact same thing every time I run it. It is utterly predictable. Perfect.

Why should anyone care about low-level programming?
