Torbjorn's pick for the week:
I have a bunch of things that I love right now. But I would probably say SUMMER! Up here (Alaska level) we are really waiting for summer from September to May/June when summer arrives. Days are as long as they are short in the middle of the night.
And of course, we celebrate this HEAVILY with our Midsummer traditions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8ZLpGOOA1Q
Product: AI on IBM i... this will be something really cool when AI guys find out about single level storage combined with super-fast NVMe storage!
