I’d love to see the Aussie govt say: “The US openly admits we bear the cost of its tariffs — it’s unreasonable to then demand we also boost our defence spending.” #auspol

Developers will spend 3 hours coaxing an LLM to write 10 lines of code—just to avoid a 2-minute conversation with a teammate. Collaboration, but make it antisocial.

You know how sometimes you have a shower after the gym, but it just doesn’t take—like, you’re clean but still end up sweaty five minutes later? Yeah, I just had lunch like that. Ate, but somehow still hungry. Is it too early for second lunch?

The company I work for sends out a weekly intelligence briefing that is actually quite interesting. - crypto kidnappings - protests likely in Wellington - transmitters found in Chinese manufactured energy equipment And more

@latingle.bsky.social, your use of “largesse” in this article is very… largesse. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

It feels like most tech folks are on LinkedIn these days? Or otherwise just gone AWOL? Checked in on X, dead. I love BlueSky for the calm pool of sanity that it is, but I wish more tech folks were active here.

It’s definitely not because America is a deeply racist and sexist nation. Definitely not. Everything bad the Republicans are doing is the fault of the Democrats and the Democrats that didn’t vote.

ABC trying to sabotage Labor's battery policy Jane Norman: "You're still on the hook for 9 or 10 thousand dollars" Idiot host: "Mmm, it's certainly a lot of money up front" We can get a suitable battery for $6k Combine the 30% with state govt interest-free loan = 𝘇𝗲𝗿𝗼 $ 𝘂𝗽 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁, $87.50pm #auspol

I'm starting to think that teenagers take silly risks because we haven't taught them how to do proper risk assessments (factoring both likelihood and impact). If they perceive the likelihood as low, they treat the risk as low, even if the impact is very high.

There's something telling me that the correct response to Trumps tarrifs, is export tarrifs of the same amount. Then use the funds raised as an export subsidy for everyone else. #AusPol #tarrifs

Just so I can put the US 10% tarrifs on Aussie imports into the right context inmy own head, is it just the same as if the Aussie dollar was trading at $0.693 US dollars instead of $0.63 US dollars, or is there more to it than that? #AusPol #Tarrifs

I'm afraid this bears repeating. Them: Is it a scam? Me: Is it too good to be true? Them: Yes, it's a fantastic deal 🤩 Me: It's a scam

#AusPol Let me get this straight, the liberals, who got beat up by the teals (liberals with a bit of green) at the last election is going into this election with a policy that - checks notes - encourages more petrol car use. 🤪

Aussie devs! CRUD is failing us. I'm presenting a better way at @slashnewtech.bsky.social (Newcastle, May 28-29). See how event-sourcing with client-side projections solves UI refresh problems for good. ⚠️ Early bird tickets ending soon! ⚠️ slashnew.tech
