Wish everyone who is (rightly) up in arms about sustainability in AI cared this much about sustainability in the food production industry...

This is a great paper on financing digital and tech in government. This rings true to me... "The absence of agreed upon metrics to measure outcomes also limits the ability to demonstrate value for money in digital spending." tinyurl.com/5d5asx4w #gds #digitaltransformation #publicdigital

What does it take to do things well? The right people, leadership, care, culture, tools, support, resources. A failing in one or more (often more) results in poor user experiences, technical debt, excuses, and waste of time and money. Pisses me off when I see it happening when it doesn’t have to.

Exploring the niche market of making up football chants for non-Premier League football teams, set to obscure songs that most of the crowd won't have heard. Currently working up one for Sunderland's Enzo Le Fee using Adam and Joe's "Bobby Dr Niro" song. #adamandjoe #safc #footballchants

My 5-year-old son won this at the tombola at an athletics festival today. This is the way to raise top athletes.

"Understanding user needs, designing effective systems, and fostering a culture of adaptability are just as crucial as the technology itself." Yes AI, this applied to you too. Great stuff from @publicdigital.bsky.social and @daivaughan.uk public.digital/pd-insights/...
