Lesson learned. If you're in South Africa, looking to purchase Apple products, I strongly recommend avoiding iStore.co.za. First, "next day" deliveries are "delayed", many days later, still nothing arrives. When you cancel the order, they'll withhold funds. Plus, hours wasted with support.

Good day for a wet, rainy run to Skeleton Gorge. It definitely feels like winter is on its way now.

Out trail running this morning, I came across this river of cloud, streaming through Constantia Nek and into Hout Bay. Pretty spectacular! #capetown #trailrunning #clouds #timelapse

Today we hiked the India Venster route up Table Mountain. It’s a spectacular route with 760m of vertical climb, and incredible views overlooking the City Bowl, Table Bay, Camps Bay and Lions Head. Just a bit of exposure and climbing on chains. It was my son’s first attempt and he loved it.

I look at close to 100 stories a week and even more outside of work. I’ve done this ten years. This is among the most horrific things I’ve ever read — testimony from dying children whose access to medicine has been cut off by the Trump administration. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

Cycled the Missing Link MTB trail along the Atlantic Seaboard of Cape Town this morning, for the first time. Rewarded with spectacular views. It was more technical than I was expecting in places, but a boat-load of fun.

Looking forward to seeing all the CEOs that backed Trump fall on their collective swords for the impact he’s having on their companies’ stock prices. That’s going to happen, right?

Imagine being the leader of the richest country in the history of the world, yet being so small-minded, entitled, mean-spirited and miserly that you need to punish the people of worlds poorest countries for “ripping you off”. Unbelievable.

Late summer is the best time of year in the Cape. Cool, pockets of mist around the coast, absolutely beautiful! Photo taken while trail running Chapmans Peak this morning.

VibeOps: you just keep feeding the firing alerts to the LLM and copy-pasting whatever commands it tells you to do until, one way or another, the incident is over.

Just finished @netflix.com's Adolescence. Holy shit! Everything about this series is next level, from the one-shot take, to the cast's intense performances. Stephen Graham and Owen Cooper are incredible. I cried big, ugly tears. 10/10 www.netflix.com/title/81756069

This comment by Anders Hejlsberg on the choice of languages for TypeScript is worth reading. Spead that type of thinking! (And recognize the massive shift that Microsoft made)

Every tech company* has platform teams trying to build: 1. Heroku, except hand-rolled 2. One giant shared database, so engineers can ignore analytics without consequence 3. If they have a monolith, microservices. If microservices, a monolith 4. A solution to the halting problem * Hyperbole. I hope

Got around to (finally!) purchasing a mountain bike over the weekend. Always looking for more ways to spend more time in mountains, so chuffed with the purchase. This morning did my first single track cycling in years: Constantia Nek to Newlands Forest.

South Africa is a nation of DEI, and, for all our faults, we’re incredibly proud of that. It’s no surprise that this bothers Trump and his goons as much as it does. From Pres. Ramaphosa’s State of the Nation speech this week:

The South Africa that people are blaming for Elon Musk hasn’t existed in 30 years. Apartheid didn’t shape Musk’s eugenicist-fascism — the family came to live here because apartheid suited their existing beliefs. They left when this (the country, not their beliefs) started to change.
