You know you've found a gem of an English teacher when that person consecutively: - brings back from a trip malt vinegar for you to put on your chips - recommends you https://shop.moderntoss.com/products/periodic-table-of-swearing-poster during the same bloody a lesson.

Last week, I attended the first edition of @rubycon in Rimini 🇮🇹. On a whim, I signed up to give a lightning talk on a topic close to my heart: my reconversion (from stained-glass maker to Rails developer) and what it taught me about our responsibility as a community toward the next generation of developers. 🤌 My notes and thoughts: https://remimercier.com/what-about-the-juniors/

&quot;Slop&quot; is also French slang that means briefs/panties (mostly used up). And now, I can&#39;t unsee the parallel.

May be we just call AI output &quot;AI vieille culotte&quot; instead of AI slop.

Looks like Github has not renewed its SSL certificates. Yet another disruption. Sure, AI makes you code much faster, but it also makes you introduce bugs much faster too.
