One thing I've learned over the last two years is to be brutally intellectually honest with myself. Am I actually enjoying this, or am I just pretending to? What an honour to have been able to go on that journey with Tom as my friend and occasional coach. I can't wait to see where we are next year.

It became pretty clear in late 2025 that Hack Weeks didn't feel like the right name. So we've now updated our name to one that ties us less to hacking…in err, a week. However it took an embarrassingly long time to decide on a new one. But we got there. We're now 'Near Future'.

Found Up North is back! This time we're on a F.U.N day out on 27th April, working together for a whole day at Department Campfield, in the heart of Manchester.

Well. 40kg of roasted beans arrived today, and I think what we’ve put together is pretty special. Smooth, chocolatey medium roast that goes like anything in our home espresso machine, tastes like the real deal but isn’t punishing me despite an extensive tasting this morning.

I just launched a half caff coffee brand in under a week. Why? I like to have 4-5 cups of coffee a day. I like the ritual, and I don't like having to switch to tea.

Kae Tempest was absolutely spellbinding tonight. 90 minutes, non stop. Couldn't look away. And he didn't even play my favourite track!

Northern founders, unite! (again) After a couple of months off while we navigated school summer holidays, wedmin, house moves and various other life events, Found Up North is back with another meetup for northern founders on 7th Oct. Grab a ticket at foundupnorth.com, see you there!

Liminal space. That in-between state, neither one thing nor other. How do we hold ourselves in an in-between place? As humans we're terrible at this. "It's the not knowing that's hard."

Building with AI is absolutely the jagged frontier right now. Sometimes it will blow your mind, other times you'll want to throw your laptop out of the window. The AI 'trough of disillusionment' is real. This is a new slide in our Hack Weeks intro deck, for that reason.

FUN is back again On 26th of June we'll be once again descending on Ape and Apple in Manchester for our Found Up North founders meet up. Expect more group discussions, interesting talks (to be announced soon) and opportunity to deepen connections with the founder community.

This pricing is just so good. No scary cliffs, just $1 per 1000 emails. Solid docs, simple UI. Well done Plunk.

Two ways to get your Hacker Hat 1. Go to our shop and buy one 2. Join a hack week and get one for free hackweeks (dot) com

I can't get this idea out of my head. We're all going loopy on the socials about AI disrupting us all, yet seemingly everyone I talk to who's actually in a company with a mandate to 'use more AI' is feeling disillusioned and alienated by it.
A slide showing the jump from 'most employees' to 'company advocates on an AI adoption scale.

Last night I sat and watched this (much longer) interview with Jony Ive and it's so full of joy and love. I'm back in.

It's now clear: we need more *founder* community in the North. Tech community sure, but specifically founders. It's just a unique and lonely journey that demands likeminded folks to be able to bare your soul to.

I'm not sure exactly what the Barron Knights were going for here - or indeed how many of them there are. But I for one am excited to listen to their rendition of 'A taste of Aggro'. Oh wait fuck that's puppets. 10/10 cover

We were just gifted my in-laws record collection (about 30 LPs). Some crackers. E.g., Not one, not two, not three but four copies of this 1964 album by the seekers. The bespectacled seeker appears to be playing a bit of grass like a recorder?
