Centerist cat dad. Quaker. Consider that I might not be trying to convince you of anything. Tweets unrelated to @coopuk or their policies. #ActuallyAutistic
Hedging over at [email protected] in case this thing blows up/melts down/turns into hate soup, goes behind a paywall.
Søren Kierkegaard claimed that if a person behaved perfectly rationally they would be so discordant with civil society that people would deem them mad.
The very idea of a “web” “application” is completely misconceived and unfixable. We pile framework upon framework to try to hide the fundamental error, but it’s inescapable. Some time soon we’re going to wake up to the realisation of a multi-generational waste of resources.
Did I dream it, or is there footage of a #SpaceX VTVL test where a voice-over actually says the Pournelle quote about space travel "the way God and Robert Heinlein intended"? Searches for those terms turn up many, many false positives
Fresh hot take incoming: GPT is best understood as a divination tool. It’s got more in common with tarot and astrology than it does with a search engine. If that comparison feels unreasonable, ask yourself if you actually understand what divination tools are.
The “Agile” we get these days may be so very vexing because it misses the humility. Scrum mitigates the Product Manager’s overconfidence that they know what users value; kanban: Delivery M’s that they know their constraints; XP: programmers that they know to implement everything.
Anyone who thinks GPT is going to mess up education reveals their utter misunderstanding of what education is. GPT has no impact whatsoever on our ability to teach or students’ ability to learn. It might devalue the certificate they get, but that’s nothing to do with education.
20 years since the (second!) invasion of Iraq by western forces means 20 years since I first attended Meeting for Worship of @BritishQuakers one of very few churches—or church-like things—in the U.K. that did not spin up a load of “just war” blather and “double effect” nonsense.
This #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek @NCWeek seems like a good opportunity to confirm that (per a diagnosis earlier this year) I'm #ActuallyAutistic .
<tap> <tap> is this thing still on? Anyway: where might I find statements from first-generation Scrum advocates recognising (later) that it was a mistake for the (early) materials not to make clear that technical excellence was a necessary enabler for Scrum to be effective?
Don't usually gush over products, but this @moogmusicinc Model 15 emulator is too, too much fun! I'm here Emerson-ing it up with a huge grin on my face. soundcloud.com/user-245989430… (headphones warning)

Hi @RestIsPolitics this week’s Chancellor taking again about the alleged “fiscal black hole” what do Rory and Alastair think about #MMT and the claim that taxes don’t fund spending and that there are few financial constraints on government spending—mostly political ones?
"Second up is this piece by @ProfSunnySingh about the collective meltdown in the Global North regarding Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter." Very good thread.
As many folks leave Twitter for Mastodon, I want to draw attention to thoughts being shared and discussions taking place about Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter beyond white, left leaning accounts👇🏼
Hypothesis: the moment a team adds the requirement that each PR/commit should be related to a Jira issue, it will start accumulating even more tech debt than before. This requirement adds a penalty for making small, unrelated improvements that get the project in a better shape.
To add a serious point to this great tweet: The traditional drift rightwards as people age is really a drift towards maintaining the status quo once you feel part of it. But if you can't buy a house, see a GP, afford childcare or get a stable job you never become the status quo
“You’ll get more conservative as you get older” I definitely won’t but I am starting to appreciate Bruce Springsteen more
No. This is false. I helped to create two different billion-user projects at Apple: WebKit and iPhone. I was on these teams from the earliest stages and I never once came close to sleeping at the office. It’s not an essential part of doing great work.
This is how great new things are built, more often than anyone has been willing to say during the last decade's cultural revolution in Silicon Valley.
Fascinating insight into the previous PM’s view of the whole rest of Britain.
