February 29 should be a time-freeze holiday. Nothing happens. No work, no deadlines, no stress. If the 28th is Wednesday, March 1 should be Thursday, and Feb 29 is not even a week day. A once every 4 years treat we give ourselves. A day of random acts of kindness.

A major hack was averted almost by accident. If you don't know, pretty much every programmer and software engineer in the world uses SSH. nytimes.com/2024/04/03/tec… #softwarematters

A old saying: “if you want something done, ask a busy person.” People forget the rest of that sentence: “… until they break.”

Computer scientists: We built a digital fool who is constantly wrong and makes things up. Marketing: Great! Let’s put it into all our products! Software engineers: We call that beta testing.

After teaching college for for 35 years, watching AI develop for 40 years, and seeing the reactions to ChatGPT, my take is simple: If your test questions can be answered by a robot, you need to ask more interesting questions.
