Twitter is toxic, thus I decided to stop using it. Bye everyone and thanks for all the fish. Those who I follow can still DM me if you want to get in touch.

Evaluating schools as a good idea - if it leads to helping them become better (e.g. exchange info & staff with other schools to learn from). Publishing those evaluations and publicly shaming is completely counterproductive in many ways. #ofsted #fail

On May 23, if you want to keep Scotland in the EU – #voteSNP.”

guy on the @TLRailUK train is getting aggressive because I asked him to take his shoes of the seat. "I have a ticket" apparently gives him the permission. What's wrong with people?!?

you're not "taking it back", you're tearing it apart if you haven't noticed

any "well-defined" process can only be like stabilizers or crutches to help you gain confidence and learn the underlying principles. But at some point you need put the crutches away and learn to walk by yourself, ie work on continuously improving your processes

Just to be clear, my point is not that Scrum is bad, just that it is not sufficient. You must add some agile engineering discipline too.

He stabbed his wife to death and then threw himself off a cliff and pulled his two kids with him.

Thinking you can have a "clean-break Brexit" is like believing you can divorce a spouse of 30 years with whom you share a house, children, dog, multiple businesses, and an open minded lover named François, by just moonwalking out one morning and never speaking again.

"View from flyover country" by @sarahkendzior is such a sobering read about everything that's going wrong in so many countries at the moment. Best read together with "Weapons of Math Destruction"
"When wealth is passed off as merit, bad luck is seen as bad character. This is how ideologues justify punishing the sick and the poor. But poverty is neither a crime nor a character flaw. Stigmatise those who let people die, not those who struggle to live." - @sarahkendzior

Let's be clear. Vaccination is a unequivocally proven medicine and prevents millions of deaths each year. By not being vaccinated, you are at risk of infection and are a risk to others – as this anti-vaccination advocate has now found out. bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-cana…

oh, hidpi-profiles where have you hidden so long from me? as a digital nomad it's such a relief to quickly change between UI font size profiles in #intellij (and why isn't this a native feature after all) github.com/mskonovalov/intel…

This is absolute madness. Just responding with “we need to get on with Brexit and respect the referendum” in response every single question does not argument make. Answer 👏🏻 the 👏🏻 questions 👏🏻 and 👏🏻 cut 👏🏻 the 👏🏻 machine 👏🏻 response 👏🏻 #EUelections2019
