Logbook
All the stories, newest at the top.
Each story is about one assistant: what was the problem, what is the solution, what did it take, what went well and what didn't. Later there will also be short monthly reports: what's new, what went wrong, what did I learn.
Want to follow new stories? You can, with the RSS feed. Put the address https://dirkenzijnbots.nl/en/feed.xml in an RSS reader (an app for news feeds). If you click the link in a browser, you only see code; that's normal. I also announce new stories on LinkedIn and X.
