I tell computers what to do for a living, and recently they’ve learnt to talk back.
Off the clock, you'll find me shredding trails or tunes (both adequately), and making AI feel special.

Remember, Change dot org petitions are basically only good for generating social media buzz and harvesting your email details. If you want to sign a petition that requires Parliament to respond,sign one on the Parliament website. For example, one might "Remove charitable status from Destiny Church".
Petitions are addressed to the House of Representatives and ask that the House do something about a policy or law, or put right a local or private concern.

I know this is a joke (I’m smart like that!) - but for those who think you can sack MPs, yeah nah. Problematic. They aren’t employees and have no employment rights or protections.

June 2024 was one of the biggest months of my life, and not all for good reason …

I started the month with a sore throat, nothing painkillers couldn’t fix - and while it wasn’t covid I didn’t know at the time it was a bacterial infection

I’m deeply offended that the Reserve Bank is threatening to hold the OCR higher at the same time the new government is rushing through unprecedented retrospective tax deductions.

Owner occupiers are getting squeezed by mortgage rates and the government is prioritising real estate investors 🤬

Every time I pick up python for a project about halfway through I realise I need async and have to rewrite everything to make it work…

Fuck Labour, man. A once-in-a-generation majority and what did they do with it? Fucking nothing. Nothing to inspire, nothing to give hope. You can bet National won't be doing nothing with their term.

Already at the bargaining stage of grief 😑

Interesting perspective and hopefully the culture of blocking and moving on with Bluesky will help with this here
