My 7 year old is grumpy today because he watched School Of Rock last week and he can’t stop thinking about it and it’s daddy’s fault for choosing the movie 🤣

Good ideas in software delivery often sound wrong at first, which is why teams reject them before giving them a chance. Hibri's session explored why our intuition misleads us so… Watch: buff.ly/0wvhkbO

I don't think people understand the extent to which this has been a decade plus long billionaire funded campaign (obviously Thiel is involved). We've tried to ring the alarm about these eugenicists but it is too easy for them to get parroted by the mainstream media. bylinetimes.com/2026/08/18/t...

What I love about reading the Discworld books is that whilst its set in a fantasy world, it's very much a critique on the norms of the real world. Was listening to the Men at Arms audiobook yesterday and loved how it engages with diversity, monarchy and racism.

2. If we stop trading slaves / extracting fossil fuels, we will hand an advantage to our commercial rivals, who are bound to continue (because foreigners are perfidious). 3. The slaves / planet will then be worse off, because foreign slave traders / fossil fuel producers are dirtier than ours.

Join us in discussing Meadows’ “Leverage Points”? ‘“This is a HUGE NEW SYSTEM people are inventing!” I said to myself. “They haven’t the SLIGHTEST IDEA how this complex structure will behave,” myself said back to me. “It’s almost certainly an example of cranking the system in the wrong direction”’

One of the problems with AI generated code review is that pretty much anyone can give a review without any context or design discussion. They probably won’t understand any fixes made. The worrying bit is that there is no discussion with a human.

Before November 2025 CoPilot failed to do even the most basic .Net 4.8 to .Net 10 migration. I've not used an IDE for the migration. Made sure that the existing tests were not touched to keep the usability and contract. Some prompting on a mobile phone while on holiday too.

This is Apartheid. It's morally disgusting - and comes at the same time as Israel is committing an ongoing genocide. To see the Labour Government defend Israel repeatedly will horrify the British public - it cannot go on like this.

Generating code was never the goal. The goal was to solve problems. I tried my best to avoid writing code by leveraging existing solutions or reframing the problem. Writing code was always a last resort and a liability. If I was going to write code, then I was going to do it right.
