PA 2 was a classic!
Scientists have observed that every time Reform goes above four MPs, one of them has to leave the party, a phenomenon known as the Farage Equilibrium.
For every dev who thinks "I could build this $30/month SaaS myself instead of paying for it" - the best thing you can do IS to build it!
You learn
1. How much work it is (just for the base case)
2. Edge cases the SaaS silently takes care of
3. The cost (+pain!) of maintenance

Groan.this NYT Article is dangerous hype nonsense:
"They do not — and cannot — decide what is true and what is false. Sometimes, they just make stuff up.."
No! They don't decide anything and they don't "make it up".
When can we get some real tech journalism? /Cc @edzitron.com
I can only assume that people wanting to vote for Reform on Thursday are eyeing up the current state of the USA and thinking "let's get some of that!"
Lest we forget.
Protests are all very well, but it's 5 months too late. Now we all get to suffer, so buckle up for a "fun ride".
turns out the United States was an incredible moneymaking engine that ran on wokeness
Well, I guess we have our answer to the question: "How the hell do you fail to make a casino work in Atlanta?"
It's all been vibe coded!
Seriously tho - I've been playing with creating an http4k MCP SDK for the last 2 months and am obsessive about the devex - testability/simplicity are critical. Am getting there (esp with proposed changes around state/security) but sometimes it feels like an in the minority
The United States, Russia, Belarus and North Korea. What a crowd.
The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.
OMG
If Ukraine is forced to surrender its sovereign territory to Russia, it will be the greatest betrayal of a European ally since Poland in 1945.
The UK must lead in Europe in defence of Ukraine. We cannot stand back and watch as Zelensky is bullied by Trump.
i'm not sure when federal judges are going to realize that when they were told in court that the DOGE teens had "read only access" they were being lied to. And they will be lied to the next time until they start throwing contempt charges around.
Motherfucker, I’m not worried about tomatoes. I can grow tomatoes.
What I am worried about is the goddamned coup you and your colleagues are enabling by your inaction and your mealymouthed responses to this bullshit.
This (probably nsfw if that's really a thing) clip made my week and it's only Tuesday before breakfast. youtube.com/shorts/B2reV...
Finally... Take into account the massive over-hiring that went on in 2018-2020, followed by correctional layoffs post-pandemic.
Rumours of the demise of the sector are very premature IMHO. 🤷🏼♂️
Also, I think if we extend the graph out so we take into account the previous multi-decade growth pattern for the sector, it might look slightly different. And then finally add average compensation to the mix... 🙃
Agree with you totally on skills - a decent mix is very important. The best software engineers often have no CS related degree.
Earl Spencer's school to close amid abuse inquiry
Earl Spencer's prep school becomes latest victim of Labour's VAT raid on fees as it announces it will close in July after being 'adversely affected by external factors
Charles Spencer detailed his abuse at his prep school Maidwell Hall in his recent book and that led to a police inquiry which has now caused the school - which was long operating at a loss - to close.
The Conservative press, naturally, blame it all on Starmer. And VAT.
Brazilian government proves once again how to deal with these psychos.
Oh for any UK political party that would actually do the same.
"Man gets points on licence for speeding" exclusive! Is this news? Is it really in the public interest even if he is a total prick? Slow news day?

1. As Zuckerberg abandons fact checking in the name of “free speech”, let’s take a moment to examine this concept. 🧵
