TIL you can press “Shift+ESC” on #Slack to force-clear any stuck notification. Since this happens at least once per week it seems, this may be useful to others.
FOSDEM was cool! #fosdem
I recently read this graphic novel (in French) about the arrival of tractors in France and how it changed the lives of so many farmers in France and it definitely resonates *a lot* with the current situation for programmers. https://www.fr.fnac.be/a20703374/Ines-Leraud-Champs-de-bataille
I say this with deep respect for the people who view AI technology as dangerous and upheaving. It is. But some technological changes can't be undone. We'll never be pre-steam engine again, or pre-electricity. AI is here and we have to cope with it, whether we like it or not.

I just updated https://www.woatlas.com/ with population pyramids, a treeview of imports and exports, a political map and a little text summary per country.

It's getting to where I wanted it to be initially already, I'm quite happy about this!

Woah, using Claude, I made in 3 hours a decent v1 of a website that I wanted to do for years and for which I was struggling to find time. I had the domain name for months if not years. It’s a lightweight website called woatlas.com with some key stats per country, aimed at answering my questions about: where is it, how rich is it, how is healthcare there and how does it rank compared to other countries?
