Complicated

My mother-in-law has several of these plants in her garden and each has quite a few flowers on them. They are fun and I rather like the complicated centre of this one.

The go-live happened and the updated system is running fine - now we just need to wait until it really gets tested...

Back blip

As I'm blipping a month late, I can confirm that the code worked fine, but the business had some expectations which were not met and they would have realised this if they had done the testing and training we told them to do. Many organisations are so busy that they don't have time to test things properly or train their staff, and the result is a long list of bugs that aren't bugs but are feature requests - that in this instance we probably had time to deliver if we had known about them in time - which we didn't...

The idea that AI will replace programmers is absurd, I spend most of my time trying to extract from the business what they want and coming up with a plan to deliver it, writing actual code is the smallest part of my job - and while AI may help with that, it doesn't do clairvoyance yet...
