Using ChatCPT to Generate Somewhat Complex Unix Commands
The command-line interface provided by *nix (Unix, Linux, BSD, etc.) systems is undeniably a powerful tool for developers and system administrators alike. With its intricate, flexible syntax, one can accomplish a vast array of tasks that might otherwise be time-consuming or complicated using other methods.

Celebrating 20 Years of WordPress by Speaking at WordCamp Europe 2023
