Great news but I have a feeling they'll weedle their way out of it someway or another and not have to cough up nearly enough. I hope Im wrong but lets see.

Wish there were enough gigs out there to track. You are asking a bunch of (mostly) IT professionals if they will pay for an app to track something that are difficult to come by? Good luck with that.

I'm with Paystream and they do weekly payments. They also do salary sacrifice to your own pension but can only change the value at certain intervals and livestyle changes.

Tried a couple of them recently. Grok was ace for turning a photo in to a video, had some great fun with that until they hid it behind a paywall. Never got to grips with Claude and not really needed a speciality ones. The three Im using heavily are Git Co-pilot, co-pilot and chat GPT. Git with Co-pilot...
