<p>There&#8217;s this thing called ChatGPT you may have heard of.  Is it the end for all software developers?  Have we reached the epitome of mankind?  Also, should you write your own or find a FOSS solution?  That and much more as Allen gets redemption, Joe has a beautiful monologue, and Outlaw debates a monitor that is a thumb size larger than his current setup.</p>
