When you find out that QA solves all problems by adding ‘sleep(25)’ between every test step action, and they complain everything takes to long

I am hopefully 3 weeks away from having my own place again
It’s really weird having all your belongings in a storage unit, living in random places.
I really want to go digital nomad. But I also really like consistency and being able to go to the same gym, meal prep in my kitchen, have my sound system hooked up, and my big stupid desktop computer that I’ve been tinkering on for ages.

Had to edit an image recently and I don’t have a document editor subscription
Realized socialthunk could do it with a few changes.
Using it again after.. I don’t know what to call it.. a break? A temporary lapse in focus? Alternate priorities?
Anyway, I love it, and working on it again made me feel all the good feelings.

Regents canal, where everyone that hates London thinks they’ll get stabbed
There’s snakes in the bushes. Nobody ever talks about them though.

I am now of the opinion that marketing teams should have 1 technical person embedded within the team (or ideally, somebody that can do both).
Managing tags and affiliates is apparently too difficult to manage for a team of 7.

I’m really, really inactive on X these days
I’ve been working for nearly two months, and I’m figuring out what’s going on
It’s the same old story
Nobody knows what’s going on, everyone is scared to do anything; you have big teams accomplishing very little

Ok, AI for helping me manage finding flats, and managing my comms is kinda great
Just wish Rightmove had an MCP connection

My flat hunt in London has begun
Every year that goes by, I am utterly shocked by the rental market
But this year, I am more shocked.

Considering forking socialthunk and naming it corporatethunk
Fine tuned for linkedin, agile processes, and metric reporting
Thrilling, right?

Companies giving employees access to models via github copilot and thinking they’re cutting edge is laughable
People are scared to use any of the powerful models because they’ll hit their token limit

It’s interesting how different building in the summer is vs the winter… at least in the northern hemisphere.
It’s easy to just go full builder mode when days are short, and you’d rather be inside
I just want to be outside

Went to a11y (accessibility) north in Leeds, hosted by Channel 4 tonight
Talked about how AI is amplifying terrible web design
My take is AI is part of the problem, and part of the solution
There’s a massive lack of knowledge in this field when it comes to designing experiences for everyone
