    Good bank for web-banking? (no phones used)

    Why not an app? I'm genuinely curious. I've been with Monzo for 5 or 6 years now and it is by far one of the best banks I have ever used. Restricting yourself like this gives you little choice...

    500 error reported from Google Search Console

    Nah it was a crawler error. The server was a lamp stack using Nginx, MariaDB and Redis for object caching that I built from scratch. Trust me, it wasn't the server 😉

    True. I blame the clients ;)

    Even Google Can Scrww Up (So can their AI!)

    Of course, the best is subjective, as the Zapier bot would be rubbish in an e-commerce environment as it hasn't been trained to work there. As a side note, I use Claude an awful lot locally for coding and writing, and then ChatGPT for research. They all have their own strengths but being able...

    Zapier. Their bot has been around for a while now and keeps getting better and better. I've used it a tonne for automation support.

    Website company

    Not going to repeat the above aside from the warning about the competitive nature of the industry you are considering but I will ask the question, why you? Try answering these questions... 1. Why should I consider using you? 2. What makes you different from the other 1,000,000,000,1 designers...

    Even Google Can Scrww Up (So can their AI!)

    See this nips at me. Google has been throwing money into AI development and is now on the cusp of releasing agent-to-agent solutions through its new sparkly platform, but it still cannot get the basics right. I had a similar rubbish experience with the Amazon chatbot recently until I eventually...

    Do we even need to start learning web developement after this?

    Short answer, yes. Longer answer, still yes but with caveats ;) Apps like this one are great if you have ZERO knowledge of web development or design. They do offer people the chance to get a quick and dirty site out there. If you are in the industry though, then it is more of a case of using...

    500 error reported from Google Search Console

    Yep I'm thinking that's the cause. I installed the SEO plugin a few days before I took it out of maintenance mode, and connected Google search console at that time. The timestamps on the error URLs back this up. This would explain how Google got hold of the sitemaps I guess. I've asked for a...

    500 error reported from Google Search Console

    I "think" I might have answered my own question. The timestamp on the crawled URLs was from before I took it out of maintenance mode. I shall be patient...

    500 error reported from Google Search Console

    New one for me... I'm running a WordPress powered site with enabled All in One SEO, Wordfence, and Lightspeed plugins. I'm mentioning these as possible causes of my problem. I had an email from Google Search Console this morning reporting that it couldn't index my site due to 500 errors, which...

    Changing Username

    Morning :) I'd like to change my username but unfortunately, the links here seem to be broken. Can I send a PM to anyone to get this done?

    Why do they want Scotland not to obtain independance?

    and that in itself is part of the problem...
