Not sure how “Somebody I used to know” ended up as my most listened track. Top artists are as expected though.

Very excited to be going to my first tech conference today. I'm also speaking! Starting to get a bit nervous now.

Found a nice usage for the much maligned walrus operator. Reducing the duplication of defining columns in a Polars expression.

Over 50,000 minutes despite being on paternity leave for half the year and not listening as much then.

Question to my political followers, how do we deal with the fact that often voters want contradictory things? I think most people wanted the government help that was provided during Covid but this then contributed to the inflation that everyone hates.
