@jmoiron.bsky.social I volunteered to do inflation for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade for 4 or 5 years. It's a lot of work but very fun looking back on it. Must have been a tough night keeping those balloons from hitting the trees near the museum and patching things in the rain.
@jmoiron.bsky.social replied: A friend is having a hard time running a nodebb forum on an affordable instance, and it left me wondering if "developing a modern forum backend" wouldn't be a good test run for AI driven development, since it's non-trivial, but also pretty well defined and well tread territory.
