Ah, this must be one of those “Model View Controllers” I’ve heard so much about

My first job was at a web agency that used a proprietary CMS powered almost entirely by XSLT. It was used for templating, as you might expect – but it was also used for backend scripting 🫠

My favourite episode of TNG
A screenshot of a TV episode summary: S03 E17 - Sins of the Father Worf travels to the Klingon homeworld to clear his family’s name by proving that a flaky test caused his father’s failing branch build, but discovers that the flakiness was covered up to preserve the honour of the powerful family responsible for the test in question. Picard berates the Klingon leadership in an impassioned speech (“This is a code smell!”)

I’ve got a small presentation on an experimental ML/Python/React project I did at work. Anyone know of a remote meetup/event that would be a good place for it?
