Wise words of @gazaston.com “prototypes should be thrown away or archived once the question has been answered”. Listened to @dxw.com Ming’s highly informative talk on prototyping in public services in the age of AI #SDinGov

I’m speaking at SDinGov on Friday 25 September, covering accessibility debt and practical ways teams can prevent it. If you’re one of the dedicated attendees sticking around on Friday, would love to have you there. #SDinGov #accessibility

A circular photo shows a person in a light cap and dark shirt standing in front of stencil art faces, labelled “Speaker.” Text reads “I’m speaking at SDinGov,” with event dates 23–25 September 2026 at the John McIntyre Conference Centre in Edinburgh. #SDinGov and sdingov.net appear at the bottom.

Whilst it seems most other parts of the UK had a drenching in the past 24hrs, rain clouds only skimmed edges of the M25 leaving us a litter cooler but still very dry

Hi folks! My current contract is ending, so I’m looking for my next role. I’m interested in digital transformation, public service strategy & organisational capability, where research and evidence shape strategy and change. Looking for senior/lead/consulting roles in London or hybrid. DMs welcome!

The vast majority of people on this planet do not have the money to pay their way out of the serious effects and consequences of disability. The few people that are wealthy enough to do so are allowed to dictate that accessibility isn't necessary or worth investing in for everyone else.

The “Are you muted?” dialog in MS Teams goes wild in a noisy open‑plan office. You’d think they could use their AI for something genuinely helpful, like spotting facial cues that indicate when someone is actually talking.

With Copilot costs going up, how expensive is AI really going to be when you've burned through your token budget and STILL have just as many, if not more, accessibility issues to fix at the end? 🤔 Nothing changes, just more expensive. Make it make sense.

The 2026 email accessibility report is now live. 99.88% of 376,348 triggered Serious or Critical accessibility issues. Once again, it's disappointing, most of these issues are quick easy fixes. We all need to do better, myself included.

Due to the changes happening over on Medium, I’m looking for people who want to keep blogging/weeknoting but don’t want to think about/pay for/manage their own website. I’ve been working on a side project around this sort of thing but can get it out earlier if people want to leave Medium. HMU!

It's often uneasy for me to share my experiences as a woman in tech, but this job market has me worried for everyone stuck somewhere harmful. I admire everyone who takes on "women in tech" speaking gigs but I am also angry for them and us. ohhelloana.blog/woman-in-tec...

It's 2026 and women are still asked to teach others to think a little bit and not be a prick

A while back I went to a tech meet-up and one of the talks was about being a woman in tech and I am finally ready to put into words why I sat through it so uncomfortably.
