    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    The certainty of organized and isolated backups is boring. The best backups are the accidental ones created out of laziness. Nuking the database is way more exciting when you only dig yourself out by pulling out that old dev box you've been meaning to scrap that happens to have a new enough...
