Going to a local hockey match tonight. I think the last hockey game I went to might've been a Des Moines Buccaneers game.

POV you see a dumb political ad, and you know you would never ever vote for the cludgy, cringey candidate - but you still need to google "comptroller" because you don't have a clue what that role is - and you realize you might be just as cludgy and weird as the candidate - because at least they know what a comptroller is and why they want to become it.

Open source projects - such as Drupal - have a built in advantage in the era of LLM bots scraping the entire web: namely, that the LLM's know just about everything there is to know about open source - enabling "Ambitious site builders" to get a lot done they otherwise couldn't have.

Testing a new approach.
