I managed to get all the way to this many years old before having to go through my prose and murder Oxford commas to conform to a stylesheet. It hurts.

Possibly the biggest roadblock to my uptake of #AI assistants is the fact that I have always been terrible at delegating.

Well, I guess this is the last time I publish in a #DH conference special issue in DSH. This is a stupid exclusion.
