Forgot to also mention the fact that the timing of the pandemic actually made remote work accessible! There was absolutely no way I could've afforded to move to a different city/area for a job straight out of uni. Online networking was also accessible and more of it was happening before.

If I didn't have a family support network, I wouldn't be here. If I wasn't provided kit from DSA at university, I wouldn't be here. If I wasn't provided with extra funding and opportunities from orgs like @limitbreak.co.uk , @codecoven.bsky.social , and my university, I wouldn't be here.

I'd like to give you 4 million pounds.
Just let me figure out where I can get 4 million pounds from.

Can we start a Develop cool rock collection club? I want to collect cool rocks on the beach with people.

Gotta go fast

Maybe we could get a robot to clap for us

I'd attempt it but my hands would probably fall off.

Part of me wants to see you clap for 44 minutes straight.

Watch out Ian, they will mug you.
