Back to normal programming! This time we answer a question about that most insidious client behaviour: not paying the f&$%ing invoice.

Pretty much every freelancer has experienced this at one time or another. If you haven't yet, you will: it’s the nature of the beast.

But while it’s pretty much unavoidable, there are things you can do to protect yourself, and channels you can use to get what is rightly yours.

We’re not going to give away those insights in writing, but let’s just say, one of the answers rhymes with “jet reflectors”.

It’s not all about thugs in leather jackets, though. We answer a surprisingly tricky question: what’s the world’s best breakfast? Unsurprisingly, those robots really take that question literally, while Hayden dithers and dallies and Martin tells a story in which he really, well, makes a meal out of getting breakfast.

Thanks all, and stay tuned for another edition of AI OF THE STORM next week!
