Call me old fashioned if you like, but this is so on the nose. In nearly 40's in software engineering, chasing the use for tech has invariably failed, while applying the tech to a problem has always seen returns. s/w is a tool, not the end product. GenAI is just a tool without a [real] use [yet].

I'd take the train to Budapest if I could! We're going at the end of the month, but due to dog our only viable option is by car - £300 for the tunnel. £100 for travel docs because of £600 fuel there and back. There's three of us [plus aforementioned dog] 20 hours of autobahn funions!

Bodies? That's always going to cause tension. Going through selling my parents' home, hopefully completing before month end. It's fraught.

It was /interesting/ times. My dad was army and had to get clearance every time they wanted to go. Because of course the borderlands were safe as houses for a serving officer to visit! There was also every conceivable view* in the family! [* Except for Paisley, everyone thought he was a cunt.]
