A LinkedIn message saying "Hello Brian. This is a paid collaboration. We acquire private, non-open-source legacy code repositories with full commit history and PRs from running or closed projects for AI development. NDA & compliance ensured."

The moment Musk said that my jaw dropped. I didn't follow the guy, knew he wasn't the genius he said he was, but that drove the final nail in my opinion. Fuck me, I can carely "code" PowerShell, but I know the goal is short, easy to read, elegant code. We're I working at Twitter at the time,

# This code creates the log file

# We're not going to check if it exists

# because we want to start with a fresh log each time this runs

# so we'll overwrite the old log, if there was one

# because we don't care in this case

$LOG_FILE = "C:\Scripts\Logs\Archive-Documents.log"

# Now we have a log file.
