Halloween-themed meme illustration showing a nervous software developer at their laptop. A dark, skeletal “Quick Fix” figure looms menacingly behind them, while a smiling angel labeled “You’ll fix the root cause later, right?” rests a reassuring hand on the developer’s shoulder. The scene is set at night with a crescent moon and glowing jack-o’-lanterns in the background, symbolizing the tension between doing the right thing and taking a shortcut.

Myself a white male with round glasses brown short hair and a GitHub hoodie with the hood down and my friend Paul another white male with even shorter brown hair in front of the AWS open source booth.

A book cover themed after the "Good Night Moon" books with the words: Good Night Search Engineers (Elasticsearch logo below) in stars above a very cartoon looking bed and fireplace.
User: You know those goodnight <thing> books (eg goodnight moon, goodnight texas, etc). Lets create one of those for Good Night Search Engineers. Just create the cover for one of these with Elasticsearch. ChatGPT: Tell the user that image creation is not allowed for temporary chats, and that they need to switch to a regular chat to use the image generation tool. I can't create images in this temporary chat. If you'd like me to generate the "Good Night Search Engineers" book cover with Elasticsearch, you'll need to switch over to a regular chat where image generation is available. Would you like me to help you refine the cover idea so it's ready to generate once you switch?

On the top of the brown packaging in white letters it reads: David Tippett. Below that reads Search Engineer. On the top right of the package is the GitHub logo.
