I’d love an update about the price of eggs. We’ve not heard about eggs in ages. I remember after he got elected seeing a tiktok of a women dancing with joy saying now we get cheap eggs and groceries. How’s that working out? I want to know

Imagine though if he actually pulls it off. We asked for bold, for brave, for action and good comms. Could we finally be getting it or have we all got very jaded about it all

Love reading both of these. Been trying to form my views on it lately but as stated it moves so fast. I’m stealing the term “option maxing”, I’ve always done it never had a name for it 🙂 Also thanks for removing the pressure to move to PRs in the ages of Agents. I’m a push to main set up guy 😁

Are you really still cheer leading for Starmer even after he’s left the field? He had his shot and his blew it. Underhand doesn’t really describe how it happened (a majority of MP wanted him so much so there was no contest) but it might be how you felt about it.

For almost a year the largest project I have been working on is building support for non-Puzzmo games on @puzzmo.com Ribbit was built in 90% of that system, and Hue Complete Me was 100% in it. A month ago I ported the Crossword to it. Got a game? We're exploring opening up bsky.app/profile/stfj...

The genie is out the box on this one. It’s not going anywhere. Even if data centres die I can still see devs running local models of some sort to ease coding. It’s too transformative of a tech (for coding at least) to go away. So yes grieving for the loss of the craft as it was might be right

This is why Starmer had to go, his final act for Labour is to let these ick feelings, talking points and policies that progressives disliked so much with him to give Burnham a clear space to start a fresh. If they don’t use that space then why change other than for personal ambition of Burnham?

Travel tech is such a mine field for compromises. From booking engines running on ancient hardware and code to the sheer scale of the combinations for flights, dates, pax and accom. Add to that few people with the tech and domain knowledge steering the sites proper and you end up with sluggish meh.

Welcome to the club. I have to ask was it malformed HTML? That’s the next level…trying to find an unclosed div in an infinite doc 😱

peteduncanson.bsky.social @peteduncanson.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

So does that mean it’s crap at law or the setup to give it a good stab at searching (which seems the issue here) isn’t right yet?

A little more haste wouldn’t go a miss though would it? Shut the barn door while the horses are still inside? Elon showed what he could do 2 years ago…clock is ticking.

I will say I’ve never written so much (as in actual word code) as have have this last year or so in prompts and docs. I’ve also never produced so much code either. The throughput is astounding. Hence my thoughts that everyone will want to “drill baby drill” in code and not worry about next gen

peteduncanson.bsky.social @peteduncanson.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

It’s a tough problem I can’t see an obvious solution for. For coding at least I can see the depth in knowledge will change, the agents are so good now it’s more about knowing the problem spaces and architecture than every best practice, odd code quirks or speed optimisations so shift focus to that

peteduncanson.bsky.social @peteduncanson.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Yep 💯 as a coding veteran I am loving AI coding thanks to decades of experience to lean on. But like you said how now do we get the next gen that experience or is this like fossil fuels, us old dinosaurs are a non-renewable resource and coding is changed forever?

I’ve been pondering this more today. I think I’m just in awe you gave that big of a “blast radius” to AI and it pulled it off. The issue here is my understanding of its capabilities balanced with risk. Up until now I’d never give it that mush to do for risk vs reward vs an out of date token tax

💯 my experience with it. Absolute rocket pack for productivity and learning BUT I’ve got 30+ years experience behind me of coding and solution architecturing. I shudder to think what a notice would build and how quick a mess they would get themselves into probably without knowing it too.

Hmmm new issues I’m finding in my AI adventures. The curse of the “just one more feature/tweak” loop really sucks you in! The dopamine train is real. Good to be aware of it though. “It can wait” is what I’ve started saying to myself.

Awww good bye to Our. I still like the reason it was called that. At the time everything was either “i” something or “my” something, very solo. Niels wanted it to be more a community and shared hence “our” was born. So long old friend.

Abusing the EU parliament rules that no one can interrupt you during your 4 minute slot to give the impression he had stunned the other MEPs into silence at his anger and righteousness. Plus could say what he wanted. Took way too long for folks to catch on sadly and here he will be doing it again.

You both raise a good point I keep pondering. I’m in probable my final stage of my coding career (I’ve built a lot, learnt a lot and worked up the ladder as a result) and for me AI has come at a great time to support me but if just starting out I would 100% still do the reps but learn AI too

120

peteduncanson.bsky.social @peteduncanson.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Continuing the earlier analogy I now more like a head chef with a team of (AI) sous chefs under me, some kitchen porters and a pot washer. All jobs I’ve done but I’m not adding value chopping veg all day for service.

120

peteduncanson.bsky.social @peteduncanson.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

I’m 30+ years into my coding lifetime, I love to code but so also love to solve problems, learn and add value. AI lets me do just that by doing the prep work or the daily grind so I can work on the “good stuff”. This set delights me.
