Published on IWD, my wife did a #BBC Radio 4 Lent Talk, focusing on power & relationships, from the perspective of survivors of sexual abuse. I'm obviously biased, but I think it's well worth 15 min to give it a listen

One of the pernicious effects of Trump's personalist narcissism and broader American discourse solipsism is disinterest in domestic long term societies that will suffer the wreckage of war long after the Americans have moved on to their next war
GB News is platforming an extremist narrative that is central to the socialisation of violence, including to the terrorist rampages in Europe and New Zealand & the USA

Team America was 2004 but yep, that's a great spot
And once you have those answers, you THROW THE THING AWAY. Its purpose has been served. You no longer need it.
You do not, under any circumstances, get sign-off from people who "liked it" and then roll it unchanged into the next level of fidelity.
The mistake is confusing detail vs fidelity. Vibe prototypes let you add a lot of detail quickly, just like how component libraries do.
But all of that detail is essentially distraction and waste. Showing off your tasteful drop shadow on the card view is not stress-testing the merit of the solution
Great 🧵
As an aside, this mindset is often described as "lean" because you skip the "waste" of low fidelity work.
Buddy, no. Low fidelity is not the waste. Work in low fidelity is what prevents the high detail work from being waste. Lean is when cheap-as-free sketches are all you need to avoid that waste.
I always just assumed it was what they said to mean 'not nuclear'
Three. I got paid for writing software for the first time in 1989... That code is older than this kid, I assume
'... basic genealogical skills'
Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic
Really interesting thread... The same kinds (in a type theory sense) of 'wars' have repeated in cycles in the software dev industry since... Well, forever... I wonder if they're intrinsic to knowledge creation work
Good news. Fresh water could soon be more valuable in the region than oil!🧵
This is pretty disgraceful.
This government is hideous. It doesn't need any analysis or deep dives to know that this is a fundamentally cruel and inhumane policy idea and no different to that pushed by the likes of Reform or Trump.

I confess that I routinely hid mine in my pocket when I worked at Google because it was such a simple, subtle power play....
That is... Thanks
“Have you considered laboring even more as a solution to how dire things are?” is simultaneously a vacuously true solution to the entire struggle of existence but also low key psychotic but this is the entire profession now and nearly nobody can admit it because it spoils the self delusion
So either Goodwin did not understand his chances in the seat he ran in (which doesn't reflect well on his credentials as an analyst) or he did and is now pretending he did not in order to undermine the legitimacy of the outcome (which doesn't reflect well on his democratic credentials)
I mean I think there's a big difference between spending 0.5% and 3% of global energy on computation and we should absolutely ask whether that's a rational allocation. and we should worry about that more as the proportion continues to grow
Wut
A tweet from the Daily Mail with a headline saying "Four biblical signs the world has entered the end of days as US bombs Iran
This perfectly illustrates my point that the British tabloids are aiming at a US audience. There like 5 people in the UK who think about this. But it is huge among US evangelicals.
British politicians need to ignore UK tabloids, as UK tabloids are talking to an audience in the US for clicks.
Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.
No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.
Worth a watch.
