    ChatGPT and why you shouldn’t use it for coding

    I’m trying to make some changes to one of my WordPress plugins and, for reasons that I’m finding maddeningly frustrating, it’s not working.

    VIP Support in Lisbon. Again.

    Visiting Lisbon 3 times for work obviously wasn’t enough. Or me going last August for a family holiday. So now I’m back, feeling like it was only yesterday.

    Evri sent me a message to say my latest delivery (a not-small box of toilet rolls) had been delivered. It hadn’t. 5 minutes later, my doorbell rings and it’s Evri, who hand over a very tatty box – damaged in various places, including one who edge totally split. However, the toilet roll inside was fine.

    The delivery was every more odd – they provided me with a confirmation photo of the delivery, which was a very blurry image of someone else at a totally different house taking delivery of it.
