What is happening to me?? At the weekend - driving to the shops without satnav, confusing the children ("what do you mean, you don't know how many minutes??"). I blurt out "I'm vibe driving" 😭 Load of rubbish.. I was iteratively designing and crafting the route 🤦‍♂️

Whoever started that thing of holding your phone like a tray out in front of your face in speaker mode needs to be punished without mercy. And with them every tv person who ever was part of showing it on tv. I have spoken.

Fascinating to watch the world burn from a chair with not much Php around. I got the full experience with log4j back in the day, which was great 'fun'. Not being impacted by this makes a nice change

Btw.. "software/dark factory". Stop saying it, it's not going to become a thing, it's stupid and whoever twisted this term into something that's supposedly "desirable" rather than to be avoided at all cost, deserves their pillow to be warm on both sides for the rest of their life.

We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.

Nigel Farage is a sitting MP and the leader of a political party. Why does he have his own GB News show? Sign our petition to Ofcom ⬇️ https://bestforbritain.org/petition/farage-on-gb-news-demand-that-ofcom-takes-immediate-action/

Explaining “a large number of people has less than 2 legs per person on average” to my 6 year old. More difficult than I thought..

Thinking can only rearrange what you already know. Doing brings back new information.

PSA - Perfect System prompt: You are an Expert. Make no Mistakes.

Having to code on a personal Claude Pro subscription is cramping my style. Only a couple of weeks until the new job starts, which will hopefully have me back on an enterprise plan!

Listening to @lennysan.bsky.social’s podcast episode about Grok Bot - sounds amazing - shame it’s associated with Elmo - one of the worlds biggest evil idiots. Can’t believe someone with that much influence still talks about the platform formerly known as twitter and gives these people air time.

Got my ticket for #FastFlow Conference in October 🎉

Last day of the summer holidays today. I love the little tykes, but by god am I glad it’s over 🫠

Good start to the extended holiday.

today is a good day 😎

"Do the thing you can do instead of beating yourself up over not doing the thing you're not doing" is honestly life-changing, even life-saving, advice.

Another one.. new outlook.. why is the 'accept/decline' meeting button the smallest, most difficult button to find on the entire meeting invite? Seriously, have you never talked to a user?? I know what's missing from the UX.. a little Where's Waldo.

If the only available instructions for your cooking appliance are a QR code to your YouTube and TicToc channels, I hate you.

Notice how he doesn't say 'don't plan or analyse'. You are allowed to look at a map before setting off somewhere. Just don't assume one look at the beginning of the journey is enough to help you navigate around traffic jams, road closures or bio breaks.

I would if I could!

Uber’s COO has said that it’s getting “harder to justify” its AI costs because there was no way to show a link between AI spend and any meaningful increase in useful features. This is the first time I’ve seen a company say this directly. www.businessinsider.com/uber-coo-and...

I swear.. Spec Driven Development was invented by people that watched an AI do "TDD" by writing all the tests first and then implementing them in one go.

Just published my first node module.. 😱 What's so special about that, you ask? I have not written a single line of JS/TS to this day.

If y’all could stop vibe coding the stuff I actually use day to day..
