Nice! But you made a mistake of using smallcaps-only on the repository. MacOSX file systems will complain and all sorts of weirdness can happen.

Geez, the OP text with no paragraphs is as unreadable as the documentation... Block of texts. TLDR.

I will not bother reading anymore of this...

New comment by JensRantil in "I don't think AI will make your processes go faster"

I guess one thing the article doesn't bring up is the fact that AI might enable more people with less coding expertise to contribute to software development. That _might_ speed things up.

If that's true, you might be able to increase throughout by parallelising more of the work.

New comment by JensRantil in "Source code of Swedish e-government services has been leaked"

JensRantil — Fri, 13 Mar 2026 11:02:30 +0000

I am a Swedish citizen. Lived here for almost 40 years. It is a bit unclear to be what the "the Swedish e-government platform" is. Would have been great if they at least could have published which domain name the service has.
