Suffice to say, though, despite the ups and downs of self-employment, I am significantly happier doing it than I ever was as a permie; so here’s to another 15 years #selfEmployment #devLife

(this is on top of all the other minor niggles about the ‘Music’ app that have been getting steadily worse over time because Apple doesn’t give a damn about software quality, but the prev/next thing is by far the most irritating because it happens ALL THE TIME)

… and, of course, it wouldn’t be a journey in a Voyager if I didn’t end up sitting in a luggage rack because TOCs in this country seem to be constantly surprised that folk actually use their services 🙄

(I’d mind less had I not paid £82 for the privilege)

Well, this one is in a better condition than the last one I was on; but it’s still badly in need of refurbishment… or better yet, scrapping and replacing with something that’s not horrendously cramped and, somehow, still stinks of toilets.

I’ve been really enjoying Calum’s channel recently ( youtube.com/@calumraasay ); great for deep-dives into very niche subjects.

Also, Curries with Bumbi ( youtube.com/@currieswith... ) is just *lovely*.

And you’ll need to come join us at some point—it’s such a good conference (& the people are the best)

Also, there were a few conversations at #cssday (not to mention Bruce’s closing keynote) that made me think of something my friend @robbowen.digital wrote recently.

I assume a lot of folk have already seen it, but for those that haven’t: robbowen.digital/wrote-about/...

Against the backdrop of mass layoffs, LLMs, site-builders and vibe coding what does it mean to conscientiously build for the web, and where do we go from here?
