When I was on Xitter, it felt like most of the value was in keeping up-to-date. On BlueSky, I feel most of the value is being reminded frequently that even though there is a lot wrong with the world, there are still many fabulous people, and always more to meet. Thank you, fabulous people.

I just added an experimental feature where you can compare european cloud providers next to each other: european.cloud/compare/ Beware it's fresh out of the agent - it may be glitchy here and there. Happy for feedback.

Compare European Cloud Providers
Pick two European cloud providers and compare their products, sovereignty scores, data centres and certifications side by side.

AI companies in the US and China are losing $ billions per quarter with no clear path to profitability. Europe isn't losing anywhere near as much! 😱 Embarrassing! Europe must get with the program, and start throwing more of our money on the AI dumpster fire as well! We can't be out spent by the US!

Among many other things, I'm also interested in helping improve legacy code bases (C#, F#, or Haskell; possibly Python), as this is typically a really difficult problem. So get in touch if you think I can help.

Recently, I've been feeding LLMs photos of hand-drawn diagrams, asking them to turn them into TikZ drawings. This seems to be at the frontier of what LLMs can do. It's not an entire fiasco, but on the other hand not going particularly well, either.

We habitually use CRUD and collection terms in our code. It's a knee-jerk decision because libraries are full of them and "go fast!" Our brains become wired to that "language." Pro Tip: Challenge your team to reject CRUD- and collection-think and seek more fitting words directly from the business.
Learn your language FTW
