I've heard this happening for a local company with about £9 million with a similar email scam. Supposedly, the person who transferred the money was competent and clever. With that amount of money, saying you don't need to ask questions, in part, is very convincing.

The HMCTS held a hackathon for the future tech in the UK court system a few years ago. The judges were people like the CEO of the courts, they also had lord chief justice. There were all sorts of firms like Linklaters, Pinsent Mason and Deloitte. We won with a simple Alexa lawyer that was to help poor rental tenants. It generated documents to send a landlord and possible legal advice. The idea was specifically for people who can not afford a lawyer. There was a lot of influential people who were very excited about this space, so it is strange when it actually gets implemented it's not allowed.

I wonder what the wider implications are for the legal system. Will there be less qualified human lawyers in the future due to the lack of junior roles that are filled by AI? Will lawyers be allowed to use AI to find different ways of looking at issues?

I ask lots of questions and even stupid ones.

I do the job with person, to workout what needs changing rather than them telling me. This saves hours of back and forth and people rarely do it.

Azure DevOps

I have started using visual studio team services, it is really good and it's free. https://www.visualstudio.com/team-services/

I used to use team city, octopus and jenkins in previous jobs. Personally, it is really easy to use and you don't have to use the microsoft stack. It supports Python, Ruby, node etc... It feels to me like they waited to see all the good bits people have done and then just implemented them.

I didn't want to manage a server so it is perfect for me.

I have pointed a number of people to use a udemy course https://www.udemy.com/seo-roadmap/

The fundamentals are easy to learn.

It depends if you have time to learn it though.

Ive recently been in Cape Town and people recommended using Uber because you can see the feed back info about the driver and the official cabs were quite dodgy.
