Had a great time at Serverless Days Wales yesterday.
Highlight for me was when a Boston Dynamics Spot casually walked up the steps on stage during Sarah Neenans talk on Tech for Good in Action, and then later getting to use the controller they made to control it myself!

1 - Snoop
2 - AI ad for doll
3 - Awful DIY kit that arrived
4 - What she made

Love the idea and no fees from prosper.co.uk. But, if you're an investment platform, seems like the minimum you'd want to do is list the ticker for each security in your library.

Paypal is absolutely awful. Creams a couple of % of every fx transaction, broken payouts, locked accounts for 'reasons'. Oh and their share price is down 75% in the last 4 years. Why would any dev use them?
