Man, every time I have a new show-stopper lucrative business idea I swear some fancy pants LLM shoots me down…

Me as soon as I type “deepseek” into my browser search bar

Average email from HR: “Ok we’re transitioning to Salarya, but payroll is still in Bullfrog—Catch up with your training on Qualulu then send me a knob on Chapati once you’re done. Do NOT upload your melon without YAMMER! approval”

I want to talk about filter(Boolean)

I think the whole “Elon Nazi salute” thing boils down to an Occam’s razor situation. What is more likely? You think he’s ACTUALLY a Nazi and wilfully did a nazi salute or he’s just a bit autistic and over-excited and mis-communicated a “throwing heart out” motion?

Been getting more into mini quad FPV flying recently. Here’s a little rip around from yesterday—with a crash

The fact that Americans spell “cancelled” “canceled” still gets to me ngl

Our key fob for the shared garage stopped working and I didn’t have a button-cell battery but I did have a lipo cell and a charging circuit… it’s at least USB-C rechargeable now!

Been enjoying IIFE (Immediately Invoked Function Expressions) a lot recently. I feel like they nicely separate pools of logic relating to specific things (parsing, transforming, slicing) and reduces the need for variable reassignment

Throwback to about a year ago doing weather station maintenance on the Antarctic plateau. It’s a very strange place because it’s totally flat and there are basically no land features for hundreds of miles. Kinda reminded me of the infinite white room from The Matrix.

Are you team Thing[] or team Array<Thing>?

wtf is figma doing now. I want to copy TEXT from a TEXT BOX Jesus CHRIST man

Waiting for Postman to open

Man, YouTube is just amazing Long-form > Short-form content

I swear the Shopify API team are on a mission to keep us devs in employment — they've been very trigger-happy with these depreciations recently

I’m usually pretty nonchalant about the incredible technology I rely on every day, but when I get a phone call in a cosy café—from an Iridium phone deep in the field on the Antarctic plateau—it always stops me in my tracks. This is so bloody cool

How to spot a Londoner

How do you ask someone very politely for the 3rd+ time to approve a pull request ?

Don’t want to brag but I’ve just had a message from Elon Musk on Bluesky

When you ask the UK-based developer if their new feature works in different timezones

One curse of being a GMT+0 developer is that it is not easy to see errors relating to local time zone offsets

I’ve decided that one thing I really want to improve on in 2025 is my storytelling ability. There’s a real skill to forming a memory into words and having that play out vividly in the listener’s head in a captivating way.

The best thing about React Native is getting everything working well on IOS and then Android just decides to shit its self with some out-the-blue java.lang.ui.bollocks exception

Open-sourcing my advanced AI text-detection algorithm if anyone is interested

What’s stopping you from coding like this?

The best thing about Bluesky being fully OSS is that I can outright steal the wonderful things from @danabra.mov and @samuel.bsky.team's posts to make our Hertility app better

I’m following too many clever ML people on here now. Barely have any idea what anyone is on about
