iPad promo codes

For those of you getting a iPad, I highly recommend these two apps:
First, a FREE nifty version of the Periodic Table Of Elements:

And here's a cool Spirograph knock-off.  It's a steal at only 99 cents, 
but here are 10 promo codes for 10 people can get it FREE!

If you use one of the codes please leave a comment telling which one so others can skip it, as each promo code can be used only once. 
Some of you got to see these running in the iPad simulator at GatorJug a couple months back.

Autonomous teams are an article of faith in modern software development. The shape of our value determines what we can do; it determines our trade-offs between agency and coherence. We all have a purpose, and we all have agency to do something, hence the suggestion is moving from product focus to value center thinking.

Article: When Spec-Driven Development Pays Off

AI coding assistants have become a core part of software development. AI-generated code has shown productivity gains, but it's also contributing to security weaknesses and familiar bug patterns. In this article, author Nitin Garg highlights the bottleneck has moved from code generation to code verification, and how to detect & mitigate it when the AI-generated behavior diverges from the intent.

This addition addresses long-standing limitations with GET and POST methods, facilitating improved API interactions.
