I'm VERY happy we're back in touch. If you're into software development, you should follow him and read his blog. Very cool stuff from a very cool guy.

My pal @agileguy.bsky.social is the reason I use the tag "testerfromleic". We worked together back in the day. He'd always refer to me as "The Tester from Leicester". As a wannabe MC, I digged the rhyme 😊. So when it was time to hop on social media, I needed a username.... And here we are :)

If you're looking for practical, real-life examples of AI helping an actual engineer get shit done, and what they learned in the process, you should follow Dan. Can also confirm, he's a lovely human ❤️.

Well done! That's impressive 💪🏾 Is this with the help of our favourite slightly sweary and very strong Dutch friend?

A little systems seeing adventure for the new year. The idea is sketch-journaling to better understand the situations we’re in, and care about. And if that is interesting, the “starter kit” offers prompts to help get that practice going.

A quick post to say: 2024 was as eventful as I thought it would be. There were highlights (podcast, book). There were lowlights (type 2 diabetes, losing 3 months to stress) But I have high hopes for 2025. More big goals. More big fears. Let's see how this goes!
