Claude code Holy shit. I feel like a super hero

Modern websites are so hostile. Full screen modals popping up just as you start to interact with the page, multiple times. Like jump scares in a crappy horror movie. My fight or flight response is triggered as I rapidly close them. Who thought this was a good idea? #webdev #ux #userhostile

Turns out I like opera Magic flute at Leeds grand Sung in English #operanorth

Hey #usa how does it feel to know the world thinks you're about to embark on full blown ethnic cleansing? youtu.be/h242eDB84zY?...

Fatigued with the USA centric world view. I'm not from America, I don't admire America. I do fear American idiocratic, fundamentalist, substance abuse driven, sociopathic politics. Where can I look to find some optimism for the future of our little blue/green world? #usa #fatigue #worldview

Admiration for this organisation is high

lol

New years day is now always going to be the day my mum died. 😞

Israel has destroyed the last remaining hospital in northern Gaza. We have witnessed the total decimation of Palestinian healthcare, met with silence from political leaders who refuse to acknowledge the horrors they have enabled. This is the dehumanising reality of genocide.

Amen

Asda selling bags of 8p sprouts. I am mostly eating sprouts. Sprouts are awesome. Last night: steamed for 15 minutes with 2 garlic cloves. Then into a bowl, good dose of olive oil then curry powder then gram flour whilst shaking it all up. 10 mins in air fryer. Oh yeah 🌶️😋

Absolutely. Programming is changing. It's becoming less laborious to create boiler plate code. Finding quick answers is a lot faster. Productivity will go up and expectations will rise to match. Human brains are still required

Worth watching youtu.be/YRFYaoCBHtc Secular left wing society needs to stand up against fascism no matter on race or religion. Humanity needs to grow up and face down it's demons

I'm a white British male heterosexual. I was always told I was supposed to really like football. I really couldn't care less about it.

Worth reading

One of the nice things about being a patient gamer, (i.e only buying games after they've been out a while, all the major bugs are patched and the price is more palatable), is that the internet is full of detailed walk throughs and guides. I try not to use them but sometimes a little help is 👌

Ah good old planned obsolescence - of humans! Really what I see is not so much heartless as data driven, profit obsessed and blinkered middle management types who are forgetting that we're just a bunch of monkeys on a tiny rock in a huge universe. We need to look out for each other!

Watching real users find all the edge cases in your carefully crafted typescript is both painful and educational. It's not them that's messed up, it's you. Just because you never imagined anyone would do that... #ux #webdev

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all." Arthur C. Clarke

This year I was in an earth quake for the first time.. Quite a strong one in Colombia, but apparently it's pretty common there, no big deal. I flew my first 100km paragliding flight, then another later in the year. #2024wrapup

@lloyds-bank.bsky.social max length 15 character password with hardly any special characters allowed. Sure let me just drastically reduce my password manager settings down so I can accomodate that super insecure setting. Not cool

Either embrace the LLM and AI revolution, or get left behind. I don't really see any other choice.

1054 days sober My flair in reddit.com/r/stopdrinking Has the truth and I did reset it when I fell off the wagon. It took me a few goes before it stuck. If you're sober curious, fancy being free of alcohol, I can definitely recommend. This Christmas, try a something different #alcoholfree

"Save your money. Go to the courthouse or just have something tiny. Put a down-payment on a house instead. Take a wonderful vacation. You don't need this." www.reddit.com/r/unpopularo... I couldn't agree more.

Been for a run tonight. First time in a little while. The work life balance has been getting pretty unbalanced. Recently though the mince pie to exercise ratio has got completely out of hand. Was time to do something!

Binged Black Doves last night. I enjoyed it, but it seemed to get a bit silly towards the end. It started off quite dark and gritty and I was quite happy with that. The action drifted into comedy or something. 6 episode limited series' are great, perfect way to spend a lazy Sunday

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Well deserved. By far the best show to watch with your kids. Horrible Histories is a very British phenomenon, part of a long tradition of self-parody

Very little paragliding content on here it seems. I mean, there's very little paragliding happening in the UK right now anyway, but I at least want to share some parabollox...
