Using AI tools slows down software developers with more than 2 years of experience. "Surprisingly, we find that when developers use AI tools, they take 19% longer than without."

Love a nice pattern.

#Tesla market cap crashed because of Musks's Twitter antics in 2022 and only recovered after he hooked onto Trump like a tapeworm. Reached peak of $1400B in Dec '24.

Now crashed to HALF that, $718B, and almost back to ... when #Musk bought Twitter.

Special day for Elon! #Tesla share price has now plummeted to level of 6 November last year, when asset #Krasnov won the election.

Until 1st Jan, most of my ebooks are half-price at Smashwords, some FREE:

and

I've been slack about promoting this because I've been madly preparing 'Shadows in Jade', and now I can relax: see seabooks.net/shadowsjade....

Hello Bluesky. Here's my very small poodle who doesn't like it when I start packing a suitcase. All the nice people I used to follow on Twitter seem to have turned up here, so it feels pretty comfortable.
