I love my sit stand desk - the biggest annoyance is the height I have it when standing does not allow me to push my chair under due to how my chair is set up... Desk is about an inch too low for it to fit

Royal Mail delivery inefficiencies. A post person in a van delivered multiple parcels across the street, then up the street to deliver more, 2mins later they delivery another parcel across the street. 5mins later "another" post person, different van delivers a parcel next door to the first house.

Curious if other languages are seeing a shift to types? Why is there a mass shift in the JavaScript world to use TypeScript. Is the same happening in PHP, Ruby or other dynamic languages?

For 6 years straight (and probably longer) the same 6 issues have been the top accessibility issues over the Web. We have a chance here to start making a difference, but we're all falling into the old habits. Old habits die hard, but collectively, we need to do better as a whole. Even myself.

Playing some vinyl over lunch, made me think. I don’t have many records, came to conclusion the reason being if I am going to listen to (buy) an album, every song needs to be enjoyable. Digital music system are so easy to skip tracks. What’s you favourite album?

Looking at getting a large desk mat. Like the look and size of the Grovemade matte pad in Medium plus size.
Anyone have any other recommendations?

Bought an Android phone for the sole purpose of debugging an issue with a new feature at work. Seems to only be replaceable on an actual device. Browserstack isn’t cutting it for this.

Switched from carpet to hard flooring in my office - do people use a protective mat under their office chair? I had one for carpet, not sure if to get one for my new floor
