I few months ago I bought a kilo of pre-peeled garlic, chopped off the ends, and put it in the food processor. Then froze it in a ziploc bag with indentations to make it easy to break off. Each square is about 2 cloves worth. Did the same with a heap of ginger. This has been absolutely gamechanging.

Had my first go at #astrophotography last night. Was just outside my house so there’s a bit of light pollution. But it turned out ok I think.

AI Assistants can generate good code quickly, but code grows and churns quickly, we’re not refactoring and reducing duplicate code. We need to add metrics and quality monitoring.
