I find it bizarre that Streaming Services learned nothing from the extinction of Cable TV. They have recreated the same business model, with the same greedy, taken-for-granted attitude towards their customers and the same alarm bells (piracy).

Reminder that if you’re uncomfortable being called out for your shitty behaviour, you have the option to not behave that way.
(And that’s a far more likely route to success than you trying to convince me not to call you out on said shitty behaviour).

I come from a world where _quite literally_ the show must go on. You do your absolute best to ensure the software keeps running, as well as it can.
In your world it might be fine to throw an exception, but in mine it absolutely isn’t and so that’s just not how my brain works when coding.

This week I learned a new metaphor from my colleagues in Finland.
“It’s like climbing a tree, butt first.”

I met one of my oldest friends via a tweet about a hypnodisc looking robot on The Gadget Show and I met my wife via a tweet about clouds.
Some people are just your people. Sometimes they are your people for a short while. Sometimes it’s forever.

Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

Did a thing. It was cathartic. Nothing big, just deleting an old thread of messages but… kinda big.

Sometimes all of your options feel like losing ones, but there is quiet victory in just doing your best.

Watching S01E02 of NCIS Tony and Ziva.
There is too much swearing in these first couple of episodes. It doesn’t feel like NCIS (and you have to think that the people watching are fans from the Gibbs days).

Eternally disappointed by people who don’t stand on business. The price for people to look the other way is often incredibly low.

Japan has just opened its first osmotic power plant 🌊⚡
This works by mixing fresh & salt water across a membrane, creating pressure that drives a turbine to make electricity.
This site will generate 880,000 kWh a year...while helping run a desalination plant providing fresh water to the city 👏

Japan has opened its first osmotic power plant – so what is it and how does it work?
The site in Fukuoka is only the second power plant of its type in the world, harnessing the power of osmosis to run a desalination plant in the city

If you had told me in 2010, 2018 or 2020 that in 2025 I would be living on the other side of the country, in my own house, with my wife, counting down the days to our honeymoon in Florida, waiting to fly out to start a new job, leading a dev team, I would not have believed you.

I wish people would stop advertising jobs as remote when there is a requirement for office work. I saw something that was perfect for friend who is looking, only to discover a requirement for 4 or 5 days in the office a month. That’s 1 day a week. That’s hybrid.
