@trentbartonland can you please explain to me why the Calverton didn't stop at High Street going into Nottingham despite people putting their hands out at around 17:50?

The bus driver waved as if they were going to pull in and then sailed past. The bus was already running late to timetable and now you've made me miss an appoint 😡

It was awesome to volunteer on Saturday and see the Nottingham tech community in person after such a long time. Huge shout out to @JessPWhite & @allmobro for putting on a fantastic conference and making us all feel safe in these uncertain times.

A HUGE thank you to the crew/volunteers who helped at #dddem21 conference on Saturday.
The conference wouldn't have been what it was without these epic people giving up their free time to help. Truly grateful.

My favourite slide of #dddem21 so far from @rizbizkits
ALT Senior and junior developer looking confused at a screen. Senior labelled 'less bemused' junior labelled 'more bemused'. Both = 'bemused together'

I have decided to start a group for women who are new in tech that would like to fellowship and connect with other women. This will be a safe space for us to ask questions, post resources, and have a monthly hang out online to make it feel more personal. If you are interested

The Chancellor @RishiSunak needs to stop this talk about people in the creative industries going on and doing something else. These are proper jobs in the fastest growing sector in the UK. The government needs to realise this - actors, artists, musicians are vital to our economy

Rishi Sunak is becoming the Aunt Mimi of the Government - she told John Lennon he should get a ‘proper job’ - unbelievable that Chancellor thinks that creative sector workers - who work in the fastest growing sector of the economy - need to find other careers
