Episode 84 - Are We Cooked?

Episode 83 - Let's Eat, Grandma

I told an AI never to publish without me, but it was capable of publishing without me. I think you can see where this is going...

Episode 76 - Don’t Write Metadata

Sorry for the clickbait title, but it turns out that Metadata might not matter as much as we think, or at least for the reasons we thought!
