LI_S02E42_LoCode_and_NoCode

Linux Inlaws

This show is witness to Martin and Chris dabbling in the area of programming. Since both of them come from a computer science background, you may be forgiven to assume that this comes natural to them. Quite the opposite in fact. The lazy chaps that they are, they don't want to learn this either (which is quite challenging given their old age anyway). In order to avoid any related effort they discovered low code and no code tools and decided to do a show on their findings. So here it is :-). Plus bonus content on why artificial intelligence in general and large language models are just wrong, wrong and wrong. Never mind evil. Well, most of the time anyway. And - given the episode number of this show - why 42 is still a force to be reckoned with.
