I know what you’re thinking, “Oh great, another blog about AI. How very 2025” or “What does this guy know about AI?”. But this one isn’t about sprinkling a bit of AI over something that already works just to sound modern. It didn’t start with the question “where can I use AI?” . It started with a much simpler one: “Is there a better way to do this?” Recently, I wrote  about designing and hosting a small system to run our git, documentation, and communication services.
