Today’s landfills are already used for natural gas generation.

Closely related to “people are upset about a thing” articles which just regurgitate quotes from random people on social media.

AI lets you pick the parts you want to focus on and streamline the parts you don't. I get zero joy out of wrestling build tools or figuring out deploy scripts to get what I've built out onto a server.
