Prove you're a good developer by writing maintainable code, not by annoying people in the office with mechanical keyboard.

Last Christmas my son and daughter-in-law bought me a jigsaw puzzle to get me off my phone. Since then I've always had one on the go. Finished a little 500 piece one this evening.

What would I do if I had any influence on education policy?

Well first I would tell the DfE to calm down on the demands and the 'driving up' of everything because the people I meet on the ground are all telling me that meeting actual children's needs must come first. ⬇️ #EduSky

@frogs4girls.bsky.social Hi ya, just wanted to say that I can't justify being on X any longer (and yes, it's called X because I'm no longer pretending that things haven't changed). I just wanted to say that I'll miss your content on there, but that's the price I have to pay for being true to me. x

@vitt.bsky.social hi ya, just wanted to say hello. I've removed X from my phone, and was thinking that there's not a lot I'll miss over there, but I will miss reading your Tweets. Hope you pop up here occasionally. All the best, Tim

Morning all. My bank account now gives me access to Apple TV. Is there anything worth watching on it? Middle aged male into detective and costume dramas. #appletv #tv

Today is the London Marathon, and my friend's daughter Rosemary is running to raise money for Sue Ryder. If you have a little to spare, it's a great charity to support.

We will be talking about #Eid spending on #wakeuptomoney tomo - ahead of the end of Ramadan. And we will also be chatting about Mother’s Day spending, so if you’re splashing the cash on either event, let me know what on and whether it’s up or down this year compared to last. Thanks!

Incredible to think that only 10 years separate the film "The Sound of Music" and "Horses" by Patti Smith.

My parents taking the back off their Grundig tv and having it permanently exposed with a permanently affixed pair of pliers holding 2 metal plates together to ensure it worked

This was the case for about 6 years
what’s your favorite instance of haptic nostalgia—the poignant memory of the physicality of an obsolete thing—like dialing a rotary phone, shifting gears in a manual transmission, opening a soda can with a pull ring?

I guess Co-pilot doesn't fully grasp the aging process. The second image is supposed to be 15 years older then the first.
