Product Person, @onejamesbrowne in the bad place.
I've found that the people in e.g. the Node and Python ecosystems have very little idea of what they're missing. So much unnecessary work!
I've been really spoiled by Laravel.

There is so much plumbing that I need to build before I can even build the features for the actual application.

Laravel provides a lot of functionality out of the box.

I know I'm learning a new platform, so I should be more productive the next time but still.

TIL GMC spends doctors compulsory membership fees on private healthcare for its staff.

New gig going well. Everyone is very nice and very competent, which is the best possible start imo.

I have switched to my personal domain name, and squatted my old username with another account as is the custom around here.

I still can't believe they renamed Otta to Welcome to the Jungle.

My new gig must really be happening next month because an M4 Macbook Pro turned up at my house this morning!
