With default settings, I asked ChatGPT to explain scientifically why there is nothing hotter than the outside of a toasted pitta bread. Surprisingly, it just went along. Who says AI has no sense of humour?

Ouch - thanks for the feedback!

It is "experimental". The AI sometimes produces code that doesn't fully work (this is part of the fun). Refresh and try again. It works 90% of the time I would say.

I've been experimenting with something in a similar space with JavaScript called "Paint AI" https://paintai.groupmind.co.uk

Here I've created a basic Paint program with no pens, brushes or other drawing tools. Instead you get the AI to create the painting tools for you and it writes, tests and deploys the JavaScript for you live, usually within 30 seconds.

It only uses OpenAI's gpt-3.5-turbo model too which is fast and good enough for this use case.

We’ve used N8N for about 2 years, at scale, in production, self-hosted on a VM with docker compose. It’s phenomenal.

We run every piece of client-specific custom integration work through it.

Plumbing a few systems together is a piece of cake - either triggered by webhook or scheduled cron-like.

There are tonnes of out the box nodes for common services, but for everything else the JavaScript code block and HTTP request nodes fill in any missing gaps.

We’ve tried Zapier, Integromat and loads of others - N8N has nailed the UX for us.

Is this a joke? Seems to be the most bizarre example of a pivot for a service with such a straightforward purpose.

It’s like a vegan meat company also selling pork sausage just in case they miss out on some passing carnivores.

The only industry paying developers this much is the game industry. It's not uncommon for AAA game developers (e.g. Developers for call of duty, GTA etc.) to have a profit share in their employment contract. When a new game goes live and sells hundreds of millions of copies in a single weekend, the rewards for some developers can be huge.

In a nutshell, learn C++.

On the issue of sorting, it should be labelled ASC for Ascending, not AESC. That's the only fault I can find...

Yes 25% of total population voted leave. You can't take this as "75% voted remain". On your figures less than 20% voted remain. The other 55% of the population didn't vote and therefore are represented by those that did.

You can't say a majority voted leave as such, but you also can't say a majority wanted to remain. The only factual figures we have suggested a majority would have voted leave.
