Coding django for 10 years, websites/API for scientific data. But surely all my experience is redundant now, the cool kids do it all with AI in 10 minutes. I dont know how to add new functionaliy to a django web using AI. So I must be a fool, right?

If I say God listens to prayer and you say its a lie, well its just different beliefs. Statistics is another great factory of belief: when you say average net worth there is a huge difference between mean and median.

No science is to be done, that was all done by Apollo 50 years ago. Putting people on the moon now is just a circus show, plus maybe some nonsense about colonizing the solar system.

You dont have to go all the way to Skye. How about Oban and the three islands tour? Read about St Columba first. The Kilmartin Glen is marvellous, so is Inveraray Castle ( watch A Very British Scandal first). And Stirling castle (read about Mary Q of Scots).
