Idea credit to the clever medics...

Here is my interactive attempt technical distraction to channel some of that energy. It is written using a mix of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS with the ObservableHQ notebook framework developed by Mike Bostock of NYT Graphics fame. A very cool place to prototype web stuff and also host and share…
- past, present tense and gerunds are excluded with simple pattern match
- You can go with `randomVerb` and `randomNoun`, or select a choice from a pull-down menu
- Will add more options here
Tying in with image generation
The next step is simply to generate an image from the prompt.

I came across puter.ai, which allows a user to link a Google, GitHub, or Facebook account and then use it to generate images (I am not sure how many free images can actually be used, so mileage may vary).
This is what my view as a “developer” looks like. It is pretty fun, but definitely not instantaneous. Expect a few seconds’ delay.
