Looking for someone to code a script that takes an arbitrary program as input and the script lets me know if the input code runs forever or stops somehow.

Should be an easy job.
Paying $99.

Serious replies only.

Almost every piece of software and every app keeps asking me if I want to use AI. These popups are like unsolicited dick pics.

TIL Claude's new code interpreter mode has a /mnt/skills/public/ folder full of prompt instructions and Python utilities for creating and manipulating pdf, docx, pptx, xlsx files - and you can ask Claude for a copy and learn a TON about working with those formats

AI is there to replace tasks, not people.

#Django 6 implements background tasks.

This allows you to run an action that is separate to the http request/response cycle.

E.g. send emails separate to the page rendering.

This will speed up your apps without you needing to implement django-q2.

I think there is a failing in Accounting theory and also Corporate theory.

In short, there is no measurement of so called 'intangibles' such as customer loyalty or staff institutional knowledge.

Those two line items are not on any company balance sheet - so no value is applied.

It would be good if hosting companies added a small amount on to the cost of hosting.

Your company will run a mile when asked to donate to #Django - but if the hosting company had an extra 5% in the hosting bill that went to Django - that would be fine as it sits in a different account.

#AI is a hammer while most people are using rocks.

You can still hit your thumb though.

If your company sends emails from a noreply@ email address, You suck and all your mission, vision and corporate speak statements about how you value customers are a complete and absolute lie.

Take a long hard look at yourselves.
