What it feels like living in the UK: You had two cows. Now you have a tax bill and a lecture. Bravo @robprogressive
Socialism: You have two cows. The state takes one. Communism: You have two cows. The state takes both and gives you a ration of milk. Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell one, buy a bull, and turn it into a herd. Labour: You have two cows. The state takes both, drinks the…
I'm the same—something to talk through my ideas with, a silent pair programmer who never gets tired. It handles the scaffolding, the boilerplate. But when it comes to shaping the logic, stitching thought into code—that's mine. That's play. That's the craft.
Been building like this myself: AI throws up the scaffolds, I shape it. GitLab’s Field CTO nails the trend—coders turn conductors. Vibe coding for grown-ups: prompt, audit, ship. thenewstack.io/the-field-cto-…
Dreams into code—more people building. Vibe coding cracked the door wide open. It's Beautiful to see. I've written code for decades. This is different: code, design, product—all collapsed into one fluid motion—finally, my pair programming soulmate. echura.com
It's 5 a.m. on Saturday, and I'm up searching my history, racking my brain, and leaning on LLMs to try and uncover things I've seen in the past that are relevant to where I'm at now—no joy!
For anybody who needs to be reminded of how good things are now and how awful they were under Ashley. How football pundits (@PaulMerse, @themichaelowen, et al.) dismissed us as "delusional, entitled, unrealistic"—or, probably the worst, @rioferdy5 claiming on BT Sport that we…
Spot on. Most people still think Robin Hood was a socialist. He wasn't. He was anti-State, not anti-success. The masses never question why taxes are needed—only who should pay more—Never how they're spent—only who other than "me" it's fair to steal from.
Robin Hood didn't steal from the rich business owners to give to the poor. He takes back the money from the greedy tax collector and gives it back to the people who are working. To be clear, the Sherif of Nottingham is a tax collector! He represents unjust authority over the…
• Won Newcastle’s first trophy in 70 years. • Beat 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th in the league in cup run. • Took Bournemouth from 23rd in League Two to the Premier League & kept them up for five seasons. • Tactically outclassed Arteta over two legs. • Tactically brilliant out of…

Fuck working Mondays. I’ve got better things to do.
Yeah, you heard me. I don’t work on Mondays, and you know what? You shouldn’t either (it doesn’t have to be a Monday, but you’ll get the…

The Design of Invisible Things
Designing a business, especially two new ones, is an exciting and somewhat unexpected position to find myself in after many years in the…

A Look Back Before Moving Forward
“We need the tonic of the Wilderness”
The question that no US journalist asked @joebiden in Geneva today: “Why does the US government fear Julian Assange so much and why is telling the truth about war crimes and corruption now a criminal act?” But they didn’t hesitate to ask Putin about the persecution of Navalny.
