Fuel stations in "older europe" Please Take Note. In a station deep in rural Poland, I can charge at any table (and Yes, the sockets are actually under power)

These students have to pass serious entry-criteria. Any country that has a large influx of talented and entrepreneurial foreign students should be proud, and facilitate those young folks. These students can turn into LifeLong Ambassadors and contribute to the country, economically and culturally.

DBA, admin, Scripting. When you set out to combine, improve, maybe simplify a set of scripts... And you end up with a Rather Looong new script which then also needs some explaining to colleagues... #Simplify #includeComments #NeverHARDCODE (Parameters are Good, Defaults are Easier...)

Thought: Design your Data! Datamodel and actual Data(-content) are More Important than "code" or (AI-) code-reviews... A well designed Data-model in a well Protected (RDBMS, Constraints!) will outlive "code" by several generations. And modifying "code" is a lot easier than "migrating data".

This was actually quite Fun to tweak with. Nice Memory. Idea came while listening to @chrisrsaxon.bsky.social. It got outlined on train-trip, then had to polish text and demo-scripts several days to get it "readable". Ended up with 3 blog-posts... Is it worthy of a ppt+demo session ?

(with relaxed thinking cap on) Code-generation is now so easy.. Any idiot can produce scripts or programs that do (approximately!) what he wants them to do. But who remembers: An extra Hour of Design, saves an Day of Programming. And a extra Day of Programming saves a Week of Testing?
